Hi. Gilenya is one of the newest Medications to treat RRMS. It's an oral medication. It hasn't been available to the general population for long. I think most insurance companies want patients to try all of the traditional drug modifying diseases first. I hope they approve you for Copaxone. It was one of the easier drugs for me to do. Goodluck.
I was just wondering what Gilenya is. I am still researching treatments. I have the same problem you describe, but I not taking this drug. Currently, I am not taking anything- because am apparently allergic to interferon (working on insurance approval for copaxone now).
I hope you get some answers. Good luck.

I don't take Gilenya but am bumping this up hoping a Gilenya member views this post.
Good luck. Hope everything gets better.
