I've had the itching once before. It was a couple of hours after I had taken my morning dose. The itching is so intense I can't even think of a word to describe it. Except maddening!

I did report it to my neurologist this time and he said to immediately stop taking it. I told him I already had. I've got an appointment on May 21st.....that was the soonest they had . Not sure what he will suggest but I do feel better off the Tec than I did on it. Not sure if I would have felt better anyway......that's they way it is with MS. Everything is a guessing game.

Maybe I'll give LDN another try.
