Default I feel really good on Tecfidera

I had to re-start the high dose after experiencing the bad side effects. But the second go around I made a lot of changes to my diet, took only 1 240mg pill a day until I felt "good" again, and aggressively treated every side effect.

When I added the second pill at night, I went back to the changed diet, aggressively treating every side effect, etc., and within three days, I felt good again.

The only side effects I feel now is a light "sun burn" feeling on my legs from time to time, and a little heartburn (nothing like the fire in my digestive system the first go around!).

I had been going downhill rapidly before I started Tecfidera. I've now been on the full dose for a month and I feel better than I've felt in years. I hope it's the drug and not a coincidence! I would think I would have to be on the drug for a year at least to know if I really am stabilized, or maybe getting better (I know that's a dream, but I can hope, right?)

Has anyone else out there felt better on the drug? Has anyone else seen improvement while on the drug?
