Recently diagnosed

Hi, I'm very newly diagnosed (may 2022) aged 30..although i knew myself for over a ywar from my first major symptom. I've been on tecfidera for 6 weeks now (full dose 2 weeks) i havent been too bad on it in terma of side effects but I'm petrified to have a night out on it 👀 i have my sisters hen weekend in 3 weeks and i want to be ablw to enjoy it but i'm afraid of side effects. Anybody on tecfidera? Also i am suffering quite badly with muscle stiffness particularly around my chest and lower rib cage on my right side which is cauaing sleepless nights with oain when turning or moving.. Does anyone get this and have recommendations on how to ease it? Ipbrufen isnt cutting it and strong painkillers are a no go as i have a toddler and need to be pretty switched on

Hi Ellie, I am on Tecfidera too and have been on it for the past year or so. Only issues I had was hot flushes
