Medication advice

Hi all <3 So I was diagnosed in December. I chose Tecfidera to take. I have been on it for 5 weeks now. Some of the symptoms have subsided, but the weakness in the legs, the numbness in parts of my body, and the constant stumbling over myself has not gotten any better. Anyone else take Tecfidera and when did you start to see a difference? My goal is to walk without the walker, and I hope I get to that point. Has anyone tried Oceverus?
@Mlgilber1

DMTs are only meant to slow progression, any symptom relief is just a bonus. I’m on ocrevus and doing really well so far. I was using a walker at all times and now I don’t need it at all and a lot of my symptoms have disappeared or lessened. I’m grateful it’s helped with my symptoms. I’d definitely give the Tec some more time because it takes awhile I believe. Also, have you tried physical therapy?

Hi mlgilber1. Thank you for the input. Yes, I do PT 2X a week there, and I do it at home the other days. So glad to hear the Ocrevus is working for you. I am really considering that one. I am going to give Tec a couple more months, which is when I see my DR again. We shall see!
