Tecfidera

Good evening :) I'm on day 5 of tecfidera and my side effects seem only to be getting worse. I'm flushing, then today have started with headaches, exhaustion and a bubbly tummy :( Is it common for the side effects to start later on (ie 5 days after starting) And does anybody have any tips or advice? Many thanks Hannah

I'm only on my 3rd week but find eating lots helps. Make sure you have a full stomach before taking it. The flushes can be stopped with aspirin.

Have you moved from another DMDs? Just wondering how the symptoms compare to other treatments you've experienced. the information i was given suggested that things like paracetamol given in a similar way to treatment like avonex? just wondering what experience you've had.
