Hi dlarson,
I started on Tecfidera in Early May. The half dose seemed fine, but about 10 days into the full dose I developed terrible
stomach issues.
Then when I needed to renew my rx for the next month, my insurance gave me problems so I went without the Tecfidera
for almost 2 weeks.
I finally am back on it BUT I am only taking one a day. I saw my neurologist and he is fine with this. He told me I can continue with this dosage until I feel I can move up to the full.
I do find taking it after I eat helps. I'm thinking of you and I wish you good luck.And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I only took one pill today after I ate and took pepto. I felt fine. I will see how it goes tomorrow. I think staying on half the dose is the right way to go till I can talk to my neuro on Mon. His office only handles emergencies on weekends and even though I felt like I was dying realized it wasn't. Was grateful to be able to eat and not be sick. Pray that tomorrow goes as well as it is my dad's 80th birthday and the first since my mom passed. It's an hours drive so praying it goes well.
