My first flush with Tecfidera

I started my treatment just over a week ago. The half dose went fine but I'm now up to the full dose and had my first flush this afternoon. It was fine until the chronic itch kicked in. I am trying to have high protein meals but any other tips that anyone has stumbled upon?

I am not on Tecfidera but I have heard someone else advise that taking it with food like eggs/yoghurt helped and lots of water. They also used to take a baby aspirin before each dose to help with the flushing but after a few years they had to stop taking the baby aspirin because it thinned their blood too much.

I have a boiled egg every morning and flush maybe once, with the 2nd dose, it depends on the meal. High protein- tends to be working but carbon heavy brings on more flushes
