Fingolimod, under the trade name Gilenya, the first oral drug therapy for the treatment of MS, is now available under the direction of a neurologist. Gilenya is licensed as a second line therapy, making it suitable for people that have failed on conventional first line therapies or those individuals with highly active MS.

Thank you so much to Kingsland NS in Roscommon, who couldn’t participate in the MS READaTHON this year but still wanted to support MS Ireland. They decided to hold a Halloween Party instead with all funds raised going to MS Ireland! Some fantastic costumes guys!

CONGRATULATIONS to our two lucky winners, Rachel Douglas and Sue Carroll. They both win a signed copy of  "Sally Go Round the Stars” by Sarah Webb & Claire Ranson.
