Starting Tecfidera

Hi everyone i'm receiving my first delivery of tecfidera next week and I'm quite nervous on the side effects. Does anyone have any advice to reduce the side effects as much as possible please? Or advise what to eat along with it? As i cant pin point what foods causes issues for my ms personally 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any help would be appreciated ☺️ thank you xx

@Pumba3112 Hi I've been using Tecfidera for 5 years. Take it before breakfast and evening meal. You might suffer with dicky belly in the first couple of weeks but after that it gets easier. No evidence of disease activity on MRI which is what we want to hear hope it goes as well for you.

Hey!!! I’ve been on Tecfidera since February this year and my gosh I had the worst indigestion feeling imaginable but a Tecfidera sandwich always works for me now!! I start my meal, have my tablet, finish my meal. I’m not conscious on food, as in I don’t over think if this food works or that. Food doesn’t seem to be my trigger. For example if I’m having porridge, I have half my portion, take my tablet, finish my porridge. If I do get this indigestion feeling I take 2 paracetamol and have a hot water bottle & im as good as new! Doesn’t happen anymore, but you’ll find what works for you & you’ll be fine. Just try not to overthink it. I know easier said than done but I found this website really really helped! X x
