Immune system problems
I was on Betaseron for several years, then switched to
Tecfidera
, but my liver function numbers were not good. I then switched to Copaxone. I am currently taking nothing. My white blood cell count is low. My blood platlet count is low.

Tecfidera dosing times
New to
Tecfidera
and trying to figure out a dosing time schedule that works for me. Trying to keep the doses as close to 12 hours apart as I can but not always working. Please share what works for you... thx

Long term
When
Tecfidera
became available I started that. My bony body was very tired of every other day injections. I still have the hard lumps from years of needles, and have a nice scar from a screwed up injection, but I never stopped taking a DMT.

MS and Menstrual Cycle
I was only diagnosed with MS last year and on my 2nd month of
Tecfidera
. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 2 years ago after getting a 20cm ovarian cyst removed.

Firstly let's get this straight
Once started I did not stop until something better came along,
Tecfidera
a tablet. That was many years ago and I only miss a tablet when I travel to Australia and get mixed up by timezones. If I am wrong I will research and fix it.

I little bit later
Tecfidera
, a tablet, came along and I have not looked back. I am happy with my DMT, it slows my illness progression and is very easy to take.

Acute exacerbation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a patient treated with dimethyl fumarate for multiple sclerosis: A case report
Since 2013, it has been used to treat adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis (trade name
Tecfidera
®). In 2017, a new oral formulation of DMF (trade name Skilarence®) was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for use in Europe as a treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Do you see the possibilities around "YOU"?
Tecfidera
came along next and being a tablet, I was so there and have been for the last many years. I have the date somewhere but I do not care to look it up, a silly coping mechanism.

hmm, procedures etc, what to do, that is the question
So now I take
Tecfidera
twice a day. I like this because it reminds me of my Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) and does not involve needles. Yet, still reminds me when I try to forget that I am very sick, that yes I need to be sensible and look after myself.

Accredo is VERY persistant!
I usually fill my
Tecfidera
through my insurance company but they have decided to call for the last 2 months. It's been over a year since I have talked to them to schedule a delivery refill! ugghh! Jessie

Pain
It may be due to increasing my new oral MS Tx (
Tecfidera
) to maintenance dose just one week ago. My new Tx is working very well for me, but had similar pain on 3rd day of maintenance, just worse today.

New Medicine
I skipped my next infusion of OCrevus-was due now in early December, so I could start new MS medicine called
Tecfidera
-oral medicine. I’ve never taken an oral medicine before (2 different injectable medicines then 2 different infusion treatments).

Tecfidera
I have been on
tecfidera
since April. I have been gaining weight since I’ve been on it. Or I feel like I have I do not own a scale but my pants don’t seem to fit right any more. I was wondering if anyone taking
tecfidera
had this problem?

Frustration with MS
I started a new medicine called
Tecfidera
almost 2 weeks ago. It’s going very well so far and has reduced my pain in half unexpectedly and has given me more stamina up to late morning time. I’m not on the full maintenance dose yet.

I do not understand
I was so happy when
Tecfidera
came on the market. No more every other day needle in my bony and lumpy butt. There has never been much fat anywhere else. Now I can wake up and take a pill and go back to bed. Repeat in 12 hours. Easy peasy.

Had my follow up visit with my Neuro yesterday
He said the numbers would have to keep getting low for 6 months before he would take me off the
Tecfidera
so I'm glad my numbers are going up.

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.

Just random thoughts for today I think
I take
Tecfidera
(disease Modifying Therapy DMT) because it slows my illness progression. I did interferon beta 1b once because it was my only option. Needles are not my friend so when I could I switched to a tablet.

3 years in, still not accepting
I've tried
Tecfidera
, and my body hated it. Now been on Aubagio about 1 1/2 years. Considering trying Ocrevus but scared I'll make the wrong decision and have more damage. I turn 40 in December and so tired of feeling 100 and not being able to keep up with my family/kids.
