I will say Tecfidera is a great drug & excellent form compared to shots.
Side effects were nill after a month or so & Tecfidera surely works. I wanted Tysabri back. My MS progresses on either but Ty has the edge. If I has to pick between any of the injectables or a pill twice/day, i'd surely try the pill IF, shots weren't holding me/you steady. For travelers, a pill's hard to beat. |

Well my meds are due here tomorrow and as much as I am happy I don't have to do shots every day, I am a little nervous about the tec, but staying positive. I'm just a bit confused about the aspirin and antacids I have to take with it. Can someone tell me what has worked best for them? What brand of antacid of aspirin?
Thank you! |

Tracy- I never took or heard of taking antacids for Tecfidera, was fine without.
One aspirin I take every night & have for a yr before Tec just for kicks to thin blood & sleep better. One ibuprofen I take every morning for past few yrs. I took the Tec with morning pills & milk, eve pill after dinner. |

Well day number 6 and I am doing very well. I have only had one day of feeling extremely tired, but I have no thyroid so it could have been that. Starting the full dose on Tuesday so I am keeping my fingers crossing it's so wonderful not having to do those shots!

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. |

Well, I just woke up with fever, cramping and body aches. Will call Dr as soon as they open. I have a feeling I am going to be taken off of Tecfidera. Sorry, I know this is not positive but figured people might want to know these things.

Like all other meds, it doesn't work for everyone. So sorry it's not working for you.
