Has anyone been on Tecfidera? Is it any good? Any major side effects? How do you feel after taking? I’m all out of options thanks to insurance not wanting to pay for Ocrevus or Briumvi.

Hi , I have been prescribed Amantadine for fatigue but once I read the long list of side effects became unsure and wondered if I should just do less and rest more , any fellow sufferers take this ? Does it help and have you had any adverse reactions? Thanks

Kesimpta!!! Does anyone else worry they haven't done it right ? The bounce back with the second click gives me a fright every time 🙈😂😂😂 that's me just done my first monthly one after the loading jabs, so I'm in bed hoping there will be no horrible side effects 🙈🤩

Changing side effects with Tecfidera

Hi everyone, I started Tecfidera in Jan of 2023 and I've been able to get by on it pretty well, only taking flushes every so often - maybe once or twice a month. Recently though, I am finding that I am flushing more regularly despite eating plenty with the meds, and even flushing through the nigh...

Kesimpta side effects

Hi there everyone, My fiancée has got MS. Today she had her first dose of Kesimpta. Is there anything that me as a partner can do to make the side effects easier to bear? Obviously I’m already doing the basics(water bottle, tea, warm food, affection, etc). Any suggestions would help. Thank you !

Ocrevus, does it cause bad stomach side effects?

I have been told I can pick briumvi, ocrevus or kesimpta but I think I’m leaning towards the first two because honestly giving myself injections sounds terrifying. I’ve heard ocrevus has more of a chance of causing gastrointestinal issues compared to briumvi and I was just wondering if that is true ...
