Aubagio

[sammason]

Has anybody here taken Aubagio? My neuro is thinking about a change to my meds, because I've had the infamous post-injection reaction to Copaxone too many times. Also because I haven't had an MS relapse for over 3 years, but I don't understand her logic there: if Copaxone has stopped my relapses, please don't take away my Copaxone

I have not taken Aubagio...but my new neuro recommended it as an option 6 months ago. I decided not to take it. My hesitation was mostly because it is so "new" that I would prefer to see how it turns out (side effects, long term effects, etc).

And, I agree...if your current medication is working and you are comfortable with it (even with the post injectins reactions) then I would continue. But, if it's becoming a problem with you - then I would consider some alternatives.

p.s. Aubagio tag added. :)

Ta for tag!

I know what you mean about not wanting to take something v new. In fact, I generally don't like anything new! I'm quite conservative but sometimes, risks have to be taken. Eg my choice of life partner, who was so obviously Not My Type that she wouldn't even have made it onto a list to be crossed off. 13 years later, here she is by my side, MS and all.

I'm blessed to have an excellent neuro whose judgement I trust, so I'll follow her advice when she gives it.
