Tecfidera
I just started Tecfidera a couple days ago and so far so good. Can others share their experiences with Tecfidera?

I have been on Tecfidera for over a year. The only side effect I get is red flushing on my face and arms. This generally only occurs if I’ve had caffeine or sugar soon after taking the medication. Hope it continues to work well for you too!
Hi Leslie, I've been on Tecfiders for about two and a half years. I still really struggle with flushing and nausea most days but think I'm quite unique in this as most others I've spoken to have tolerated it really well. My one bit of advice if you do suffer with flushing is to eat a good breakfast and take the tablet with food, not afterwards. I always try and eat something, take the tablet, then eat something else. Peanut butter on toast/crumpets is a good one....you need something fatty to stop the side effects so go to town on breakfast!! 😊 Hope it goes ok! Xxx
