Tecfidera flushing 😳
Hi everyone
I've just started Tecfidera and the flushing in my face and neck was pretty bad yesterday....does anyone know if this lasts or does it subside in a few weeks??

@San1982 For myself, it happens now and again. It looks like sunburn and feels like sunburn. There seems to be no pattern or regularity to it's occurrence. It has diminished in the number of times it happens and usually lasts about 30 minutes for me. Sometimes I find it happens many hours after taking my capsule, but it's occurrence has definitely reduced for me.
I had one this morning too and I've been taking it for seven years now. They should become more infrequent after the first few weeks. Are you taking it with a spoonful of peanut butter 2/3 of the way through a fat or protein based meal?
