Newly diagnosed - copaxone or tecfidera for treatment?

I’m so grateful to you all! I was recently diagnosed (early April) and have found this forum a great relief and source of support. I’m currently working out meds with a couple of neurologists… Just wondering who has tried copaxone and or tecfidera? I’ve had my first isolated symptoms (numbness and tingling, hands still remain 2 months later), unsure how the disease will develops over time. What do peeps believe about ‘hitting hard and fast’ mentality or rather seeing how the disease develops? One doc believes I should hit it hard no matter the symptoms with cladribine, tysabi or zymbryla and the other believes tecfidera for less advanced/for the moment. I’m finding it difficult to outweigh the benefits over the risks involved with many of the meds in the market and am becoming more and more drawn to copaxone for treatment no matter a lower rate benefit, which doesn’t include as many or any harsh side effects. Thoughts/experiences would be very much appreciated! Does anyone use the wimhof technique? I just started this a week ago and have noticed some benefits so far https://youtu.be/1elVk1fNqd0 My naturopath has me on quite a number of supplements. Has anyone tried pea palmitoylethanolamide? It seems to help a lot with pain and spasticity, as well as medicinal mushrooms, mag, b vitamins, calcium, d3, omega 3 plant etc.. all seem to have made a difference. Also, has anyone used minocyline, low dose naltrexone, oestrogen/testosterone, immunoglobulin infusion for treatment? Best 🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️

Hey Nat welcome to shift. I had a good experience with Copaxone… Tecfidera not so much.

@jamoranto not sure how to private message you, wondering if you're still taking copaxone? For how long and how you experienced Tecfidera?
