Hi not been on in a few months, started taking tefidera 6 months ago and had my MRI scan and just got results back and have 2 new lesions on my brain but the neurologist wrote in his letter that he thinks that it might have been the space I had came off tysabri and started tecfidera but I am scared ...

Hello I haven’t actually written anything on here but always gone on for support, information and to understand what other people are going through. I have been on Tefidera for little under 2 years now, which hasn’t helped in anyway as I am still getting lesions on the brain and spine. I’ve now d...

Wow, I'm so glad I have this group to turn to, I don't feel that I always get the truth from my doctors and nurses here in Canada, so I am a little frustrated!

Hi everyone :) I was diagnosed with MS aged 27. Since turning 30, I have had the overwhelming urge to try for a baby.

Hi, just looking for some advice please. I know it's only early days but I took my first Tefidera this morning and within two hours I felt terrible.

I started tecfidera on Saturday and today I have a weird itcy feeling all over my body, and it moves from my arms then to my neck all over. Is this normal? I also had my ears burning when it all started now the ears are fine but I'm still itcy.

I started Tecfidera last week. First week was 120mg. This week I started the higher dose. It's so hard to not know what to expect. I'm not having flushed side effects, but I'm not feeling great. I don't know what is anxiety, what is MS, what is medication side effects. This is hard...............

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?

Hello $Thedonasara, I have been on this medication for 6 years. Yes, I feel fatigue and I can fall asleep at any time of day, when I'm at home. This disrupts my night time sleep routine, but I just work out a schedule. Apart from that, I do not experience other side effects.

Hey guys today I started my Tecfidera 120mg and after 2 week they gonna change it to 240mg. Any tips for me ?

Hi, does anyone know about risks of getting infections with Tecfidera? I've been wondering about this since I read that immune reactions differ and MS patients often suffer from "silent" infections when taking immune suppression medication.

I started my treatment just over a week ago. The half dose went fine but I'm now up to the full dose and had my first flush this afternoon. It was fine until the chronic itch kicked in. I am trying to have high protein meals but any other tips that anyone has stumbled upon?

Hi all, My Tecfidera is due to arrive tomorrow and I'll be starting it right away. Taken everything in my stride so far but suddenly I'm very nervous about this... Wish me luck!

I’ve been on dimethyl fumarate for nearly 3 weeks and have had stomach pains/sickness for about 5 days now, I’m just wondering how long I’m going to be getting these side effects for as it’s slowly beginning to drain me. I’ve spoken to my ms team but they’ve only said to keep and eye on it🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi all, I started Tecfidera several weeks ago I am now on full dose. Since a couple of days my heart rate is really high. Went to the GP and he gave me some beta blockers to decrease the heart rate , my GP suspects that the stress is the cause. Is there anyone who experienced this with Tecfidera?
