How do you live with your MS?

I'm just sharing some thoughts here and I'm curious about other people's opinions! So, we may all know that Christina Applegate did a red carpet in the past couple days with a cane that had "FUMS" all over it. Which I respect but it's not for me. The "MSWarrior/Fighter" and the " FUMS" mentality isn...

5-HTP and Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate)

Does anyone have any experience with taking 5-HTP while on Tecfidera? I used to take 5-HTP while on previous DMT as found it helped a little with mood and speech. But after googling them (never a good ideas!) I've been unsure if it's a good idea to take it again with Tecfidera.
