Hello, fellow ms'ers! My name is Shannon, my Dx came in Oct 1999, I was 29 then. I have RRMS. Been on Copaxone, Rebif, then began in the clinical trial for Fingolimod... Began taking Gilenya (aka Fingolimod) as soon as it was approved by FDA for release. Was on it until sometime in April 2018, and at my neurologist's recommendation, stopped taking it so I can begin on Ocrevus infusion therapy... Hopefully soon!!

Have had MS for 19 years, and have done pretty good... Just wating to begin the Ocrevus infusions (really want to start this one SOON!!)

Wishing everyone here well! ✌
