Switching DMT

I am looking to switching to Aubagio next month. Per my choice from almost two years on Copaxone. Neurologist is all for it. I’m VERY scared to do so due to the side effects I’m reading about. Any feedback?I am looking to switching to Aubagio next month. Per my choice from almost two years on Copaxone. Neurologist is all for it.

Switching from Copaxone to Aubagio

Aubagio has potential to damage liver and thin hair. Not too appealing but they say it has greater efficacy than copaxone. I have had two exacerbations this year (just finished round of solumedrol..feel sosososo much better!) Any body on Aubagio and happy with it?Aubagio has potential to damage liver and thin hair.

Doctor

Seen my neurologist today everything looked good , going to keep me on Aubagio for my treatment. Said I have very good upper and lowerbody strength and to keep going to the gym. Do not see him again until December unless I have a flare up. So it was a good day.Seen my neurologist today everything looked good , going to keep me on Aubagio for my treatment.

MRI results

Aubagio is working good for me not going to change the medicine. Do not need to see until next year unless I have a problem. Going to keep going to the strength unlimited gym doing what I can do. I was happy when I left his office.Aubagio is working good for me not going to change the medicine. Do not need to see until next year unless I have a problem.

Living & Loving Life the best I can

I take Aubagio for it.. My hair is falling out in strands. And I go into Surgery on the 18th to get my teeth taken out because they are weak and crumbly from the meds?? not sure if it's MS related or medication related. But I'm enjoying my life so far.I take Aubagio for it.. My hair is falling out in strands.

Exactly what I was worried about!

So as the new neuro is wrapping up our appt yesterday, he said to stay on my Copaxone shots and other meds for now but that he may want to switch me to Aubagio later. Wait....what? What happened to not being convinced its MS?So as the new neuro is wrapping up our appt yesterday, he said to stay on my Copaxone shots and other meds for now but that he may want to switch me to Aubagio later.

Question 1

Chose aubagio. MRIs don't show anything new and no new symptoms. More worrying than the new lesions though was the significantly narrowed artery in my brain. Already had high blood pressure and high cholesterol and family history. Started a baby aspirin a day.Chose aubagio. MRIs don't show anything new and no new symptoms.

Ocrevus Issue?

I had previously been on Aubagio but it was discontinued due to cardiac issues (tachycardia and hypertension) I have autonomic dysfunction which was diagnosed in 2012 after several syncopal episodes. I am on two cardiac meds. I have been stable for years on these medications until this month.I had previously been on Aubagio but it was discontinued due to cardiac issues (tachycardia and hypertension) I have autonomic dysfunction which was diagnosed in 2012 after several syncopal episodes.

Vaccines FYI

Studies show that flu vaccines produce a good immune response in people with MS, especially if taking interferons or Aubagio (glitramer acetate). If you take Lemtrada, be sure to get your flu shot six weeks prior to your infusion.Studies show that flu vaccines produce a good immune response in people with MS, especially if taking interferons or Aubagio (glitramer acetate).

Aubagio?

Anyway, so my doc is talking abt switching me from Copaxone to Aubagio. I balked at the mention. I rather like my side effect free Copaxone. I already feel relatively crappy on any given day and I dont want to have to deal with side effects from meds.Anyway, so my doc is talking abt switching me from Copaxone to Aubagio.

Knees feel numb but I can feel them ? Also approved for rituxan!

I've been on Copaxone and Aubagio. Just got word that insurance has approved Rituxan after a 6 month denial and appeal. Good thing since I've had the oddest sensation that my knees are numb, but I can feel when I touch them. Have any of you experienced this? Maybe a new exacerbation?I've been on Copaxone and Aubagio.

ACA Adventures

I believe this is an issue with Healthcare.gov and not the company but when I look at the company's formulary all the meds are listed except for my Aubagio. So now I'm concerned. I call them up and yes it is allowed with pre-authorization.I believe this is an issue with Healthcare.gov and not the company but when I look at the company's formulary all the meds are listed except for my Aubagio.
