I have MS and Im having a horrible time with the medication side effects for MS has anyone had this kind of?

Hi there, my mother has MS, R and R, relapse and remision. She used to suffer with the injections, she used to complain of worser headaches, numb feeling etc. This is your body attempting to get used to the injection, im not too sure what your taking, injections or pills, but she also had problems with pills aswell, they actually didnt help so she needed to move onto the injection. Anyway! She now drinks dissolveble tablets.they help apparently.

How long have you been taking the meds? Usually the sideeffects will be all but gone after 6 months or so, but for some they continue.

I was on Avonex for 10 years with sideeffects. Recently switched to Gilenya and after a couple of months have no sideeffects apart from being somewhat more fatigued, but that's peanuts compared to the pain and aches I had while on Avonex.

Some of the disease modifying drugs are more likely to give sideeffects than others. Tecfidera is one of the worst when it comes to sideeffects, whereas Tysabri and Gilenya are less likely to give sideeffects, although the potential sideeffects of these two stronger meds can be very serious.

Bottom line is that it's not unusual to have sideeffects, but talk to your neurologist about it.
