Neuro's office called today

I sent them a message through the online portal about my white cell levels were low again (with a copy of the report because my family dr doesn't use the same place for bloodwork) and he said that I should maintain on the Tecfidera and he will recheck at my Nov appt. If it is low at that time I should probably think about changing dmts.

I wish we had that facility in the U.K., I would love to be able to email my neurologist rather than travel, and wait to see her, but then I would loose out on lunch with my hubby. I hope you find out why you are having a low white cell count. 🦋

It's a rather new feature in the U.S. Depending on the doctor/hospital they have gone to electronic medical records and this is one of the nice features.
