My story of being a hypochondriac, an MS patient, and a guinea pig. NOTE: After 16 years on Fingolimod, I'm starting my self-designed study to taper off the drug while avoiding the now well-documented "rebound relapse" phenomenon. I'll be writing about my journey on SubStack and you can find it here: https://farewellfingolimod.substack.com/

My Daily Pills
Just so you can get an idea of how really small this pill is, here's my daily handful of the pills I take.
Starting from fingertips down, Fish Oil, Centrum multivitamin, Calcium with D, B-12, another calcium with D, and Fingolimod. It's the tiniest thing I have to swallow. I often gag on the calciums and the daily.
Someone else in the trial said they had no side effects from either drug (Fingolimod or Avonex) upon initial dose and she wanted to crack open the capsule and see what the stuff inside tasted like. Not me! It's probably ghastly and I don't care to know. Besides, I'm pretty darn sure my pills aren't placebos.
