I used to have attacks in the first few yrs of the disease, but then all attacks just stopped. I haven't had any attacks in 7 long yrs. This is another reason I am freaking out... from what I've been reading is that people who are transitioning to SPMS no longer get attacks as often? Perhaps my new symptoms are a sign of me entering that phase.
All I know is that I REFUSE to take tecfidera anymore. I refuse to ingest all of the below chemicals (which are in tecfidera) and I fail to see how these carcinogenic chemicals could "delay progression". That's crazy! The only thing it will do is increase cancer risk. A lot of these chemicals they have in the drug are not even necessary.
Active ingredient: dimethyl fumarate
Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, talc, silica colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, triethyl citrate, methacrylic acid copolymer - Type A, methacrylic acid copolymer dispersion, simethicone (30% emulsion), sodium lauryl sulphate, and polysorbate 80.
Capsule Shell: gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C blue 1; brilliant blue FCF, yellow iron oxide and black iron oxide.

polysorbate 80 --- carcinogen!!!!
I'm at the point right now where I can only see myself taking LDN for MS. Hoping that will be enough!
