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
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...
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...
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...
I was on Tecfidera and then was trying for a baby so I came off it. I’ve had my little boy now and went back onto Tecfidera but experienced side effects this time round, awful gastrointestinal problems and flushing. I’m not on a DMT now but am due to start Vumerity.
I’m just looking to hear people...
Hi Folks - I'm starting Vumerity today. I had to switch from Tecfidera as I developed a a random issue in my lung and the Flushing side affects never went away for me. I was exhausted after a year on the meds. I was moved to Brabio and once I got in to my 3rd month on this DMT I ended up with sev...
Hi everyone!
I've been on Tecfidera since my diagnosis about 1,5 yrs ago. The start was difficult (see my earlier posts) but after that things have been pretty ok.
Here in Finland Vumerity became available recently and has been reimbursed (is that the right word?) in December.
Due to a tender sto...
Hey! I was diagnosed in January of this year with R&R MS. I have recently started Vumerity and wanted to hear from more people if you are on it, the side effects you’re experiencing. I’ve noticed I feel sicky about 1-2 hours after taking my tablets lasting anywhere between 1 hour to 4 hours. I’ve al...
Was finally diagnosed last week, my Vumerity arrives on Tuesday, and I just tested positive for covid today 😔 I’m not too bad, but now I can’t start treatment til this is out of my system and I was really looking forward to feeling better…bummer.
How long did it take into treatment did it take fo...
Hi I'm from the US. I'm 41 years old, and a wife and mother of 3 kids. I was diagnosed with MS in 2003. They did a lumbar puncture to get spinal fluid. I'm told that is old school testing though. I now take vumerity the hoops I have to jump through to get my meds. We need to do better.
