Tecfidera
Has anyone on here had bad reactions to
Tecfidera
that weren't documented by the manufacturer? It stressed my body out more and made my cognitive and fatigue worse.

My introduction
Used Copaxone for a bit more than 4 years, then switched to
Tecfidera
. I prefer the capsules. I've never blogged or used chats, so this is a real unique experience. I read through a few posts before deciding to write this.

Rituximan
Recently taken off
Tecfidera
because it was not working. I did my first infusion of Rituximan yesterday. Things went well.

Hello, anyone else in a similar situation
Tried
Tecfidera
, stomache couldn't handle it. Tried Copaxone but the reaction to the shots got worse and worse. Been on avonex for about 4 months. Sometimes light flu like symptoms, a lot of depression, I cry at anything.

Relapsing MS with side effect treatment . Probably Relapsing Secondary Progressive MS now.
I started my first medication treatment for Relapsing MS with
Tecfidera
2 years ago at age 54. Besides the gastric side effects and flush,recently caused to me serious side effects with very low white blood cells count and capillary reactions. I am in pause of treatment for couple months.

It's about time!
I tried Betaseron, then Copaxone, then Aubagio and finally
Tecfidera
, which is what I take now, along with duloxetine and modafinil.

New to the community but not to MS
So I switched to
Tecfidera
thinking that would be better. It wasn't. I was on
Tecfidera
for almost 2 years and the side effects of intestinal distress, upset stomach, extreme itching, and always feeling fluish I decided to stop
Tecfidera
.

HI, I'M BACK!
My liver enzymes were also elevated--could be the
Tecfidera
--and that scares me a little because I had the liver cancer when I was 19. Now I need another blood test. But the gastric upset was caused by a new migraine med. In short, the whole experience has been a real cluster.

Multiple MS therapies?
So, we change to
Tecfidera
(#2). At the end of a year, MRI shows multiple new active lesions. So, we change to Plegridy (#3). At the end of a year (2 months ago), MRI shows multiple new active lesions, one of them in the brain stem (none in the spine). My MRI's are looking like pretty fireworks.

Working with MS
I started on Copaxone, then
Tecfidera
, and am now on Tysabri. I have only 3 lesions in my brain. Lesions in my spinal column are my major problem.

ACCESS TO EXPENSIVE MS TREATMENTS
My current disease modifying therapy is
Tecfidera
, and it seems to be a good fit. I use Acthar Gel for relapses. My biggest concern is the expense of these medications.

Meds or MS
I am currently on
Tecfidera
, I was on tysabri for 8 months and got really sick with a sinus infection and bronchitis. Had the bronchitis for 2-1/2 months before getting rid of it. Now I'm back on
Tecfidera
and sick with the sinus infection again. It does not seem to be clearing up.

Introducing myself
Getting ready to start
Tecfidera
. I also now have Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimotos, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and Celiac. MS stinks. It was the beginning of a very challenging adulthood and took a lot of "normalcy" from me. However, I know that it's just something that I have and does not own me.
