Good morning, Anyone on tec find they had a constant cough/wheeze/bubble in their chest? I think this is the 3rd time since the start of March and with only a few weeks of having no symptoms. I was never really ill before tec and was aware of the risk of immunosuppression but this is taking the p*s...

Just wondering if anyone else can relate. Been on Tecfidera since 2020 with good effect. My white cells have steadily been dropping though, now at 0.5 so they have cut me down to 1 tablet a day instead of 2. Just a bit worried about the effectiveness if only taking half a dose. Thanks if anyone has ...

Hey, started tecfidera in June, experiencing regular hot flushes/itchiness. I know this can be a normal side effect but is anyone on tecfidera that experienced flushing, did it ever settle down? If so, when?

Hey guys! It’s been so long since I posted on here as I’ve been doing relatively good. Diagnosed in June 2018 and started Tec in September 2018. Bloods always been fine, no new lesions - excellent! However, over the last 6+ months, my lymphocytes dropped as low as 0.37, came up to 0.5 so I could...

So I had a rash on my side on Monday and didn’t think anything of it as I have been feeling fine. But I have been to the GP and they have told me it is 100% shingles! Has anyone else ever had shingles whilst on Tec and if so, did you continue taking your treatment? I phone my MS nurse but she is o...

Hi Everyone! Has anyone had any issues since their Tecfidera has been move to the generic version of the medication? I've been on the generic version for around 3 weeks now- since moving to the new medication I've been flushing literally every night, even after taking an antihistamine and aspirin ...

My neuro wants to start me on Tec as I’ve not done well with other DMT’s and he wants me on something. I’m also JC virus positive, bringing the risk of PML into the picture. Anyone out there made the decision to go ahead on a DMT after testing JC positive? Knowing the risk of PML in the equation? No...

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...

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 ...

I've always had oily skin until I started taking tecfidera. My skin is now dehydrated and no matter what I do it looks dry and flaky. Im also pre menopause so double whammy. A friend recommended a collagen powder that id drink but ive not tried it yet. Has anyone else had this problem with their ski...
