Relapse triggered by new DMD?

Hello I started tecfidera three weeks ago. Three days ago I started getting numbness in my toes that has progressed to altered sensation throughout that side. Hard to know if I'm feeling fatigued because of that or the fact my kids have been little beggars at night not sleeping. Is it possible a DMD can trigger a relapse? Or is this bad timing? Not a good way to convince yourself these pills are a good thing that's for sure! Thank you for any insight

@twinmummy , when you're introducing a new medicine to the body, you can expect some teething problems. If there was no reaction, you'd wonder if it was working! So, touch base with your MS Nurse tomorrow and let them know what's going on. They should provide a similar reassurance. This hot weather isn't helping us either, so hopefully things will settle down for you over the next few days.

Tecfidera has been studied and watched carefully and what you are experiencing wouldn’t be caused by the dmt. It’s more likely your tiredness and other factors are impacting you.
