I started Tecfidera disease modifying drug a month ago starting on the lower dose 120mg for 14 days. I started okay on the first week, i was suffering with a few hot flushes which were manageable, the second week I couldn’t stop vomiting. On the information for patients; These were very common side effects i just thought id stick it out as i started to feel better. I then started the 240mg which i believe is the dose id remain on. I was okay for 4 days then the stomach pains started which was a very common side effect. The pain became unbearable, I was eating high protein foods and the stomach pain would take a few hours to kick in. I even tried taking the tablet on a empty stomach, each way i tried the pain was just to much where i was unable to move. I threw in the towel as I thought that this drug is meant to help me not cause all this pain and discomfort. It just wasn’t worth it effecting my day to day life. The MS Nurses spoke to my consultant and advise it was the best decision to stop taking it and they were going to send me some information about starting a new drug, which is similar to Tecfidera.
