I was on Tecfidera for a year after diagnosis, originally I was supposed to go on Ocrevus but Covid happened. But I'm now on Ocrevus. I absolutely hated Tecfidera, it was torture being on it. The flushing just would not stop it was full body, itchy, hot, lasted ages. People constantly asking why i'm sun burnt in winter etc! My stomach was always hurting, I stopped swimming because of the whole body rash. There are much better DMTs out there to be honest.
Thank you for the tip about taking Tecfidera with lunch instead, I do find I get the annoying flushing/itching so I will try this. Best wishes 💖
Thank you for watching. Sending you best wishes from the MS Trust 💙
