I've been approved for the Gilenya patient assistance program.  It wont cost me anything and I'm approved through August 2013.  I'm extremely thankful for this.  I called my neuro today to schedule the first dose monitoring appointment and I'm going in on Thursday, 9/20.  I need to be monitored for 6 hours in his office.  I've just finished reading the patient information that came with it.  I hope I get through it.  There are risks of side effects including low heart rate.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
