Hi @peacezone! 11 years on copaxone daily self injections. Chose this option of things available at the time as having the least scary side effects and easiest to routinely take. Like you “mild” rr. A few minor and one major blips along the way not ms, or at least not copaxone, related. Holding pretty steady symptom wise. Really ms fatigue is the worst of it for me ... although foot drop (and so tripping and ouch the landing) a close second 😉. Hope you find the DMT that is right for you! I find other physical therapies helpful too (chiropractic, massage and acupuncture).

Hi @peacezone. I’m on Tecfidera. I was terrified to start it as there are some stories about stomach upsets floating around. However, I’ve personally never had any problems. I take it with a balance of fat and protein and I never compromise on that. It really fitted it with lifestyle. I take one tablet at work and one at home. Sometimes a minor heat rush a few hours after. Another advantage is that it doesn’t really remain in the system. So, if it didn’t work for you, it should be easy to transfer to something else. Good luck! Btw, I did wait until I had a few days off work to start it.
