Had a bad day today. After an exhausting day seeing the doc yesterday for a checkup, I awoke due to belly pain after only 4 hours of sleep! Sat on the john to pee and passed gas as well--a first for a night john journey! And hearing that gas brought me back to how the neuro mentioned it as a side effect in passing. Stomach still hurt bad but found comfort eventually on my side, only to be disturbed by a truck and/or lawn mower.
Though I haven't cracked three weeks yet, I really wonder if this drug is for me. It is enough to put up with several episodes a day of transient nausea and abdominal pain, I have already pressed through e-mail tonight to be taken off the med and put back on Avonex. There is nothing to add relief for me as NSAIDs, Benadryl and Prevacid have been part of my standard med diet for years.
Why is there no mention of severe constipation in relationship to this drug???!!! Google it, and you will find some interesting--and colorful--blogs to say the least! I patched together relief with MiraLAX plus 1/4 - 1 tsp magnesium citrate.
The most obnoxious insurance procurement ever to boot!
First symptoms July-August 1994, am convinced I have it by August, pursue neuro on my own for October 1994, was diagnosed officially on April 19, 1995 (OKC Explosion). Betaseron May 1995-April 2000, Copaxone only 2 weeks till suffering the Post-Injection reaction, Avonex May 2000 to mid-October 2013, Tecfidera late-October 2013 to present
