My first DMT

Hey folks 👋🏻 My delivery came today, which means I start taking Tecfidera tomorrow! My plans are: to have some toast and peanut butter for breakfast, then swallow my capsule (they’re quite big, aren’t they!), then I’ll leave for University equipped with a pack of tissues and my portable necklace fan incase of any side effects. But I know I’m gonna get bored of just toast and peanut butter so I need some suggestions... what do you recommend for breakfast? I don’t really eat much red meat or eggs, I don’t eat any dairy and I can’t stand blueberries! But otherwise I’m pretty easy 😂 I’ve realised that if I’m gonna make medication work for me then I might as well try and make it fun too - hence, the jazzing up of breakfast! Hope everyone is doing well 😊

@keepsmyelin99 You've done your homework.... You'll get on ok. Your now a fully fledged Tecie. On the grown up version 😀

Hey @keepsmyelin99 👋 I started my Tecfidera last Thursday so almost a week in now! I honestly can’t say I’ve had any noticeable side effects this week (I was convinced the side effects were going to be awful!) so hopefully that continues next week when I start the full dose! I’ve been eating porridge for breakfast every morning and most of the time I’ve just been eating as I normally would so I don’t think you really need to change too much at this point unless you want to! See how you tolerate it first! I even tested it a little bit on Sunday and had a few glasses of wine with dinner and I still felt fine! So I’m feeling very positive at the moment, and hoping that feeling continues! Yes, the capsules are quite big - I hate swallowing tablets but I haven’t found them that bad, they seem to slide down pretty easily! The only weird thing I find is that they rattle and I can kind of feel them rattling as the capsule goes down but maybe that’s just me 😂
