#FUMS

I've decided that I am going to to get involved with the whole blogging and Twitter thing and finally get out of my head the things that I would like to say to my MS if it were a person.

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...

New to dimethyl fumarate

Hello! I recently made the switch from Gilenya to Dimethyl Fumarate (it's been a month since that transition began). Today I will be on the full dose of taking DF twice a day instead of just once. I think I have been pretty lucky in not really experiencing the known side effects (flushing happened o...

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.
