Question re Tecfidera

Hi Ive started Tecfidera, now on day 22 and in wk 2 of full dose. I've been having the full range of GI symptoms and feeling really awful. Im trying to have fat and protection and take the pill in the middle of the meal but no matter what ive had problems. Im keeping food diary to understand what helps or makes things worse. Wanting to hear from people who are further along in taking techfidera. Does it actually get better, what helped or made worse? Is it worth sticking with? Thanks

Fat and protein, not fat and protection!

Hi Karen . I’ve been on tec for 2 years and it does get better. ( nightmare for first 8 weeks) Me personally I take it with Asprin which stops the flushing and stomach cramps . I also take the first tablet at tea time and one before bed, which I’ve worked out is best for me . Good luck
