Finally got an arrival date for Tecfidera
 

It's been 2 and a half months since this process began. What a hassle! You really have to stay on these people. I should be getting my delivery Friday, 6/21.

Delay after delay...they don't have my signature, yes they do...talked to the right people but didn't ask the right questions, goodness knows they aren't going to prompt...got a pharmacy, $2300 copay...back to right people with correct questions to ask...got another pharmacy, med is FREE til end of this year.

Don't let that "$10 copay doesn't apply to those on Medicare" scare you. Talk to MSActivsource and ask specifically for the financial assistance department. That was one of my biggest delays; didn't know I had to ask for that department.

Good luck Sparky..:)

Good Luck, Hope all goes well for you!! :hug:

Sparky- I am doing the Snoopy happy dance for you and also thanking you for the advice re: Medicare ;)

persistence pays off once in a while, eh? Good for you for figuring out the unneeded delays!!!

Glad to hear it!
Week 2 for me on Tecfidera......so far so good! No issues so far.
:hug:

Great news.. hope it works well for you.
Just got blood work done today and signed papers to start the ball rolling for me.

Were you able to get help using my experience, Jane? Oh, that's great! That's one reason we are all here.

Today's the day. *tapping fingers* My Ampyra comes today also. It would be sweet if they both come from the same delivery company. But not my kind of luck.

My Neuro really wants me to try this med. I need to do some research on it but it sounds like it might be a winner. Judging by how long it took some of you to get it I'd better start now!! :)

I hope everyone has great results with this. It's about time they presented something that will work.

In my search for more info I happened across this blog of Wheelchair Kamikaze! It talks about BG-12 and PML and other things.
