something specific?

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 ...

This may be a silly question but when i was speaking to my ms nurse the day i was starting tecfidera she said im not due for more bloods till may and about a week ago im getting told i need to get bloods done before i go onto the higher dose but the nuse gave me the higher dose i just dont start it ...

Diagnosed only last week, I have an appointment with the MS nurse on 11/12/23 after the neurologist at my diagnosis appointment gave me a choice between kesimpta or tecfidera. I’m really unsure which way to go, does anyone have and input that might help me make my final decision please?

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...

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...
