Hi all! I am new to this forum and was diagnosed with RRMS in 2011. I was young and really didn't care for my disease as well as I should have. I took my shots(Extavia) for a number of years and ate pretty well. Jump ahead to 2017, I relapsed(second one) in January. I asked my Neuro if I could try Tecfidera. He said ok. Just started it about a month ago and BOY it's been rough. First, came the flushing. Managed that. Second, was the GI issues( I don't even know if "issues" is the right way to explain) I was laid up in the bed for days. Terrible. Now, that all that has subsided. I get to deal with acne- perfect, right?! I have been web searching for weeks on Tec just to come up empty handed on anyone saying that symptoms got better or stayed the same. I go back to my neuro next month and would love to discuss switching, but I wanna make sure that there is an actual reason to. More or less why I decided to join a forum.
Any guidance is MUCH appreciated.
