MS and Hospice
My father in law has MS and is taking
tecfidera
being paid for by a manufacturer grant. I have been told if he goes on hospice he must stop taking this drug. Is there another drug that Medicare will take under hospice that works as well? Thanks

Medicine info needed
The first being
Tecfidera
. After finding a new lesion it was decided that
Tecfidera
was not working. Changed to Aubagio this past February. Side affects not agreeing with me. Does anyone in this group have any experience with or info on the new infusion drug Ocrevus?

Diagnosed over 20 years ago.
I am on
Tecfidera
and find it has helped me. I have tried a lot of different therapies such a shots, steroids and even chemo. for M.S. It's been a year on
Tecfidera
and I see a big difference. My neurologist does a MRI every 1yr. This time around no new lesions!!

New to blogs, old in MS
I am now on
Tecfidera
, after being on three previous drugs. MS was fairly quiet the first 10 or 15 years, but has really accelerated in the last five or seven. Getting older and having MS, it is hard to sort out what is what.

My story
I have been on Copaxone and
tecfidera
. I have horrible spasticity in my hamstrings and back. Which I believe is the corporate for me not walking. I have been off
tecfidera
now for at least eight months. I am on alkaline diet. Mostly all vegetables Sometimes some meat.

3 month check up of Tecfidera/MS with Neuro today
Neuro said my mri did not show any new activity and now that we have a baseline for down the road after starting the
tecfidera
to see if it's working. He did say I have degeneration in my neck and that is most likely the reason for the pain that I get in it.

GOOD TO BE BACK
He also said that there has been a 5th case reported with
Tecfidera
, but he does not want to switch me since there have been no new lesions in the brain or the C-spine, but he is going to get a MRI of the thoracic spine and he is retesting me for the John Collins virus just to verify the positive reading

My reactions to
Tecfidera
wiped me out for a week, so I'm a little gun shy. My problem symptoms are brain fog and deteriorating vision in my right eye. Thanks in advance for your help.

Tecfidera - Day 1
So, I took my first pill this morning. I woke up early enough to make myself breakfast then I took a shower and dressed before taking the pill. Listening to all of the suggestions, I was going to load myself up with preventative things in the event of all types of things. I then had to slow down and

Tecfidera Being Delivered Tomorrow
I know that
Tecfidera
affects everyone differently but if there is anyone here who has either taken this medication or is currently taking it that can tell me their experience, it would be greatly appreciated.

Tecfidera
Has anyone continued
Tecfidera
and tolerated the side effects? How long did the side effects continue? I haven't left my house in 3 days, and took my last
Tecfidera
last night. I cannot function with these side effects. I lead a fairly active life style.

Great News......
Their pharmacy will be giving me a call to schedule delivery of my
Tecfidera
. Now, I do understand that this medication may not work for me but on the other hand it might. I'm just ready to find out what works for me and what does not.

Very confused and very sick
I had to stop
Tecfidera
, it made me so nauseous and VERY weak. I can't consider given y'all, because my neuro said it tends to reduce your heart rate 15 beats per minute and my resting rate is 50. I have had it tested five times, and had an ekg. Ocrevus really scares me.
