Default New to Tecfidera

Hi everyone,

I was Dx 6/2004. My Dr put me on Avonex, after 6-8 months he changed me to Rebif because I am a major needle phobe! I used Rebif for about 4-5 years and had to discontinue because of needle site reactions. He put me back on Avonex and I have used it until about 1 1/2 months ago. I finally hit a major level of needle fatigue. My current doc prescribed Tecfidera and I started on it on Feb. 23. The 1st week and a half were very uneventful, maybe a but of flushing. The last few days I am having quite a bit of stomach cramping and mild headaches. I also have noticed more fatigue than is typical for me, but I am also dealing with a number of stressors! I plan to battle through it until the dr orders blood work. As long as that comes back ok I plan to stay on this path.
