Hi all, I know it has been a long time since I posted here or talked. My depression has become worse than before, moods shifty and all over the place along with pain all over. They put me on Gileyna on March 2nd and now been taking it daily since then. What I need to know from someone with experience regarding Gileyna is does it make you really light headed(since I have been lately) and if so, how long does this last? Feel free to send me a message or reply here and thank you. ~Emma

@Emma2190‍ 

Kesimpts is a monthly self injection, it is pretty much the same as Ocrevas.

@Tracy23 Ah, no thank you then but hope it works out for you. Been on self injections Capaxone then Rebif and both failed after a while which resulted in more lesions from more flare ups or whatever that fancy e word is the doctors use.

@Emma2190‍ 

sorry to hear all that.  This will be my first time ever going on a treatment & dr recommend so going to give it a shot.  Hard decisions to make cuz when you talk to people everyone has had some bad effects from all the different treatments out there.  Fingers crossed for me and hope all will be well with you.
