Default Tecfidera from hell

I did the first week of 120mg with absolutely no effects at all. Figured what a breeze. The second week, 240mg, shut my mouth and slap me silly. Nausea, upset stomach, the big D, all constant, reprieve.

With my swallowing difficulties I am already down to just eating rice pudding, yogurt, mashed potatoes and forcing liquids. I never take the tec on an empty stomach. I feel miserable since the increase in the dosage.

Have to wait to call neuro since he has such convenient hours of wed and thru 8-4 and fri 8-12. I tried calling the numbers provided with the drug and they said 'No can help you, you have to call you doc that rx you the med'. Yeah, thanx. Plus you add all the pain and spasms, Guess Im doing alright. Sarcasm is great ain't it
