I'd be unhappy coming off as have been pleased with them, but will have to do as doc's say, if they say it, ...

Just started Tecfidera!

3 years after being told I probably had MS. Excited and positive about this new phase of my life. Scared though, as I have to deal with these clowns called Sciensus who are meant to do one thing: deliver medication. Trouble is, they can't do that effectively, even after many hours on the phone an...
