Tecfidera headaches??

Hi everyone just wanted to know if anyone has suffered persistent headaches as a side effect of Tecfidera? I have been taking it for approx 4 weeks now had all the very common side effects, however these soon subsided and are now only occasional. Over the last week and a half I have had a persistent headache that is effecting my work, and strugglingwith fatigue. I am not sure if this is a side effect or something else, as work has been a bit stressful recently. I have a GP appointment tomorrow and will contact the ms nurse, but wondering if anyone else had suffed the same? Thanks for readinging another one of my moans and hope you are all doing your best at beating ms! :-)

Unfortunately, headache is a documented side-effect of Tecfidera. I'm not sure that your GP will be much help, so try and contact your MS Nurse to discuss the situation.

@Stumbler I've read it can be a side effect, ms nurse didn't think it was and didnt tell me anything I don't already know. I'm sure the GP will be like what do you want me to do about it! At the moment it's effecting my ability to do my job and I'm just fed up! Think abit of time out is required! :-)
