Tecfidera or not?
Hi, I am new to this group as neuro has suggested I may wish to start tecfidera. Diagnosed at 39 with RRMS in 2017 and so far managed with OMS diet and supplements to date. Stable MRI's since diagnosis but lately felt like symptoms are progressing slightly (vision issues, muscle twitches, balance) but not yet affecting any daily activities. I regularly exercise and can luckily still manage 10km runs everyday. Nervous about starting any DMT and would appreciate any advice that could be given.
My advice is to get on a treatment. The best thing you can do for your health. That’s what I believe. Best Jorge
It's a good question that I struggled to make as well, in the end I chose to take it and it seemed like the easiest one to stop if I wanted to stop with it. The first 2 months there was side effects such as upset stomach, gas, flushing and for some reason anything sugary I no longer wanted. Most of them disapated but still experience flushing every couple of days. I don't think I will ever know if taking it was the right decision to make but in the end I feel it is for now and only time will tell I guess.. good luck with the descion
