I have been on Tecfidera now for 18 months. During that time, I didn't experience any of the gastro-intestinal issues that seem to be a big problem for lots of people. However, I spent the first 6 months feeling like I was living inside an oven while flushing seemed to happen to me all day, every day. Now, after more than a year, the flushing happens only a few times during the day but it happens all night long and will even wake me up. I used to be a very cold sleeper, needing lots of blankets to stay warm and now I'm not even bothering with a sheet....in the middle of winter, with the window open! My neuro tells me it's hot-flashes/night-sweats from menopause (which has not been an issue with me since 2008....so I don't think he has a clue about this).
The other things I've noticed is that I have lost the "I'm full" feeling after eating. If I don't make a effort to stop, I keep eating and as a result I've packed on the pounds. And, I ache fairly badly in both of my arms and my left leg. My blood/liver panels have been great and I'm due for another one this coming month.
What I'd like to know is if anyone else out there has had ongoing flushing/heat issues and if anyone else has lost the "I'm full" feeling after eating.
