Tecfidera and side effects

Hello I’ve been on Tecfidera for 18 months. For about 14 of those I’ve suffered terrible daily acid reflux. I’m torn on what to do, do I just keep taking and suffer or so I give it a break and see if it is what’s causing it?

Tecfidera

I’ve been using Tecfidera for one week and I feel super tired and fatigue, I wonder if its because of the medication. Is anyone else having the same side effects?

A DMT stronger than Tecfidera but not as suppressive as Gilenya

I made the switch off Gilenya at the beginning of this year to Tecfidera. My quality of life had sunk down on Gilenya due to its suppressive qualities & dealing with other infections, toxic mold, etc, that my body just wasn't able to fight off very well. Unfortunately my latest MRI showed a bunch of...
