Changing DMD | Ocrevus

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...

I learn something new here everyday!

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! None of my doctors or nurses have EVER cautioned me about taking ibuprofen while on Tecfidera. I take it frequently for back and neck pain ...

Babies!

Hi everyone :) I was diagnosed with MS aged 27. Since turning 30, I have had the overwhelming urge to try for a baby. Started on Tecfidera six weeks ago but discussed with my neuro about trying and he said to get an mri and then he will see me and if the ms is stable he is happy for me to come off t...

Tecfidera - advice please

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 felt really sick and then began having hot flushes. I know these are common side effects but wasn't expecting to feel so bad. I don't want to give up...

Tecfidera to dimethyl fumarate

Has anyone else been changed to generic dimethyl fumarate from Tecfidera? And if so, have you noticed any differences in side effects? I know it is the same thing, but just wondered! Tia!

ecently had my MRI results and (as I kinda suspected after a rough few months) had new lesions.I'm currently on Plegridy (moved from Tecfidera as I'm JCV positive and my lymphocytes lowered a lot). Tecfidera worked ok for me, but Plegridy obviously hasn't been as effective. Due to the hard few months I've really isolated myself from people (some I'm unsure even how to reach out to again now) and live alone alone some of the time when my four children are at their mum's. Positive news is, they've mentioned Ocrevus and Kesimpta, which are obviously higher efficacy treatments. Could I ask for any advice people have around these DMTs, please? If you've seen me ask on Facebook or Instagram, then feel free to ignore and not repeat yourself.

Brabio or Tecfidera🤔🙃

I was diagnosed RRMS in Dec 2020, the neurologist believes I've had it for 11 years. I've had 2 relapses in 2 years and currently have 1 active lesion (great way to end the year!) I have narrowed my choice of DMT down to Brabio 3xweek or Tecfidera, I like that Tecfidera is more effective and a pill ...
