Hey MS World! I've not been here for awhile. My world has been turned upside down, but I am thankful things are doing better.
I am starting Tecfidera for the second time, and I am excited. The last time I took it ended in December 2013. I have a few questions.
Exactly what symptoms has Tecfidera helped improve for you? My MS is worsening slowly. I currently suffer from fatigue, insomnia, optic neuritis (2008), and incontinence.
Over the past few months, my chronic pain continues to worsen. Does Tecfidera help with chronic pain?
I don't mean to sound like I am whining. I am not. I am very THANKFUL that through my LORD I can walk. I am thankful for some energy, some sleep, vision in my right eye, for Poise pads, for pain medication, for my doctors, for my leg braces, for my husband, for my bed, my bathroom, my bathtub, my hot washcloths, my cold water bottles, my BIBLE, my heating pad (yeah, I know, it needs to go), my socks, my tank tops (so I can go braless at times), my wheelchair, walker, potty chair, for the little birds that sing to me in the morning and for the frogs that sing me to me at night, for the rain that cools me off when I am hot flashing, for the heat when I am cold, for the cold when I am hot, for milk I drink when I cannot eat, for prayer, for my church, for my Dad who loves me so much, for mercy, grace, and salvation, and for MS WORLD!
Thank you for your input!
