Effects off going of Gilenya

[RoisinS]

Hey everyone, I was previously on Gilenya for over 6 months but was advised to go off it over a month ago due to the drop in my white blood cell count. Now I didn't see much change at first, however in the last two weeks I've stuggled getting any sleep. I have pains behind my eyes (something I am especially paranoid over due to my history with optic neuritis). I am over fours days now late on my period yet I've all the PMS symptoms like aches and pains all over. Plus my sinuses are affecting me much worse then usual with bad throat swelling and lots of mucus formation. I'm just not sure if im being over worried about a bad sinus infection or if it could have something to do with me stopping Gilenya and I was wondering if anyone has suffered similar symptoms after stopping the medication thanks. I'm 20 and was diagnosed with MS 8 months ago so im just not sure what symptoms to look out for.

Hi RoisinS,  I havent stopped taking Gilenya but I can relate to all the symptoms you were experiencing (late period, pain behind the eyes, sinus infection type symptoms) but on top of it I have terrible pain in my back as well. I dont have any answers for you unfortunately but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. How are you feeling now??
