Still coming to terms with having MS

Hi all - I found this site last night. I wish I'd found it before. I was diagnosed with RRMS about 2 years ago but have avoided speaking to any fellow MSers since I couldn't cope with hearing about what might happen in the future. I am in between coming off Avonex (3 weeks ago) and seeing the MS nurse re tecfidera on 11th. I wanted to know if anyone has felt more fatigued during this interim time? Also what can I expect during those first weeks? So far I've heard that it helps to take an aspirin daily and take tecfidera with something full fat. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Katrina

Hi @katflowers , I'm glad you found us, but not glad that you have a reason to find us. :???: Tecfidera has been talked about a lot recently. The forum search facility (magnifying glass, top left) will find this recent discussion. Here's a quick link to save you a couple of secs :- https://shift.ms/?s=tecfidera I'm sure some of our Tecfidera users will be along shortly to share their experiences. :wink:

I have heard Tec is rough to start with the GI side effects. Have you been offered/considered Lemtrada. In my experience it was easy to take 5 days only of treatment then nothing for 12 months. It is also the most effective medication available. Good luck in your treatment decision :)
