Vumerity

Hi there. Interested to know if anyone has experience of taking Vumerity? I read it is same effect as Tecfidera but easier on gastrointestinal system. I think it could be an option for me but welcome views. Thanks, PJ

Vumerity

Is anyone in the UK on Vumerity…version of dimethyl fumarate that supposedly has fewer side effects than Tecfidera. It was approved for use in the UK about six months ago. Partner could not tolerate Tecfidera, and we would desperately like to try Vumerity as an alternative, but have been told that i...

Vumerity

I had a bad allergic reaction to copaxone and after a long convo with my neuro we decided on Vumerity next. However, in his office he said to make sure to eat fats with it. But, everything I find online is opposite. Anyone on this that can tell me what you find to help while taking it? Just trying t...

Ocrevus, Kesimpta, Tecfidera or Vumerity?

I'm due to see neuro in a few weeks to discuss escalating my DMT. Based on working through UK DMT choices around 6,000,000 times I have narrowed it down to 4 and keep changing my mind so to distract myself I've decided to turn this into a sort of poll. Note: I'm not asking for medical advice and ul...

Escalating to Tecfidera/Vumerity

I’ve been on Copaxone for a while and due to a recent (thankfully mild) relapse my neuro has booked an appointment in a few weeks for us to discuss the pro’s & con’s of escalating to Tecfidera (and I presume I could request Vumerity as an alternative). Has anyone made this or a similar change? How ...

Stay on Tecfidera or switch to Vumerity

Had a chat with my MS nurse yesterday (RRMS, 3 years). I get mild flushing with Tec which is a mild inconvenience and uncomfortable for about an hour about 3 x per week, otherwise no side effects. She suggested I switch to Vumerity but having looked up the risks these seem slightly greater ie in t...
