unnumbered post Today is good 20 May 2021
Walked into my office, opened the
Tecfidera
jar, took one tablet, swallowed and went back to bed. No-fuss no dramas. It may take "YOU" a little time, but how about "YOU" make your ms life like this. 'YOU" have a lot of time, why not start today?

NEW HERE - Choosing a medication and lost.
I was told to choose a medication and I have it narrowed down to Ocrevus,
Tecfidera
or Copaxone. Truthfully I am scared on going on any medication but I am strongly urged to do so. Can anyone provide any tips on choosing which medication and how you made your way through this journey?

New lesion
I took
Tecfidera
1st, then because my WBC went so low switched to Copaxone. Been on that 8 yrs. so now it seems like either i become disabled, or die from a deadly disease. Can anyone please help me to feel better about this?

Unnumbered post YOU and I are supposed to get worse 19 Feb 2021
I take
Tecfidera
now and write this standing at my desk. As best as I can tell, I still have Relapsing-remitting ms(RRMS). I have injection site scars on my skinny buttocks and often feel the hard injection site scarring lumps.

Vumerity

Denial Vumerity
Denial of
Tecfidera
and now Vumerity within a 2wk period. This is getting to be so frustrating will be speaking to my doctor on tomorrow to see what’s the next med that will be approached. Have anyone else dealt with this issue. Thank you!

Change from Tecfidera Dimethyl Fumarate(Generic) or Vumerity
My Insurance Co (UHC) made a decision to stop paying for
Tecfidera

Tecfidera
(Dimethyl Fumarate) my doctor advised me on today possible Vumerity, but further discussion will take place on 1/18.

Has Anyone on Tecfidera Received the COVID Vaccine?
My job is offering us the COVID vaccine, so I was wondering if anyone here has received the vaccine while on
Tecfidera
? In addition to being on
Tecfidera
, I also have a medicinal allergy (allergic to all "-cillins": Amoxicillin, Penicillin, etc.).

My first love🧡
My
Tecfidera
ran out! Yes. I’m usually smarter than that-I promise. I had almost a whole bottle of generic Tec(dimethyl fumarate) left over from my first failed attempt at switching from the
Tecfidera
brand to using the generic form.

Neuro Appt
I’m now on
Tecfidera
since August 24th, MRI done in Nov that showed one active lesion an one non active and that’s why they wanted to do a quick change, of med to Ocrevus, but my thoughts were it didn’t seems like it was enough time to determine and start Ocrevus.

Change from Tecfidera to Ocrevus
During the visit my Dr informed me I would need to start Ocrevus instead
Tecfidera
after being on it for 3mths. Labs were drawn and faxed to office Nov 26th. I was advised they would be calling me or Ocrevus team.

Post 721 In the beginning 10 Jan 2020
I do not take it as a twenty+ year veteran it is easier for me to stay on my
Tecfidera
. Besides I like my 2 times daily tablet and really do not like being stuck with needles. I have the scaring from years on Betaseron to remind me of that. So that is your first step.

Advice from Vumerity users
Looks like my insurance provider is dropping
Tecfidera
starting in December. Last month my neuro mentioned Vumerity, which is covered, but I declined because Tec works for me(not fond of dimethyl fumarate). What do you think? Should I stop being such a Tec snob and try Vumerity? 😌

Tecfidera
This is my 9th wk on the
Tecfidera
and the stomach issues seems to be calming down. Will meet with the GI Dr on today to make sure all is well with the past stomach issues and that it was just the med only. Thanks to everyone for giving me information on med over the last mths.

Are you using the Generic equivalent of Tecfidera?
Now with a lot of pharma companies coming up with the Generic medicine I wanted to understand if they are as effective as the original Do you use Generic equivalent of
Tecfidera
(dimethyl fumarate) if yes which one do you use and is it good ?

Tecfidera
On my 6th wk of
Tecfidera
, I have now notice stomach cramping and pain for the last couple of wks. I thought it was cramping at 1st due to upcoming cycle, but no cycle yet after waiting patiently for 2wks.
