Has anyone had their meds affect them differently after pregnancy?

I'm taking tecfidera, was diagnosed Fed 2021 and started dmt right away. Found out I was pregnant July 2021 and immediately stopped taking meds as told by my support nurse. I had only had 2 flushing and stomach irritation instances pre pregnancy, and now it seems like it's every other day at least once either morning or evening I feel like boiling hot bugs are crawling under my skin. I do take meds around meal times and make sure I'm eating protein. It's driving me crazy, constantly buying benadryl is getting expensive, and it makes me not even want to hold my baby when it happens 😔

Hey - I've not been pregnant yet so can't comment on that, but when I was on tecfidera I'd take it with some yoghurt to help with stomach irritation. If you need to take benadryl to cope with the side effects then maybe speak to your nurse or consultant, might be that another medication could be a better option.
