Water and sun

Switching to Tecfidera after getting off avonex this weekend and was wondering if I can lay out in the sun. I heard that a lot of sun is not good for you when you have MS. As with avonox I was to drink lots of water, stay hydrated. Do I need to do that as well with tecfidera?

@Tantan Hi I've been using Tecfidera for almost 5years no one has told me that.. but me being Scottish I self combust in the sunshine so I stay out of it.

Hi @Tantan . I'm on Tec too and haven't heard that sun is a particular problem with it or had any bad experience. A lot of sun is not good for anyone but a bit more Vitamin D is generally thought to be good for us of course. I take a tablet to boost mine and like to top it up with some from the sun when I can, hoping it's doing some good. Certainly makes me feel happier ! Yes stay hydrated. I don't drink any more due to being on Tec though. Ok to enjoy some sun sensibly I think !
