What are Tecfidera side-effects?

I was really freaked out about the side-effects before starting. I'm only on day 3, so I can't say much, but they've been really tolerable, so far (knock on wood).
When I was on Copaxone I had the IPIR, and the flushing I've had with Tec is nothing even close to that bad. Like others have said, it just feels like you've got a sunburn and goes away after an our or so.
The one that really worried me was the GI involvement. I work full time, and didn't see how I could excuse myself from meetings any time the med struck but (again, knock on wood) so far so good.Brent
