    Chances that tecfidera works for me?

    What is the usual success rate of tecfidera?

    i was told over half the people who tried it worked to slow lesions, flares and disability progression, the other half was mixed with people who had to quit due to unmanageable side effects.

    any opinions on this? Does the size of the individual or gender matter?

    Interesting... Tec's been positive in my experience. I haven't heard anything too bad about it. *shrug*

    Not to say that some have negative histories with it, just saying that it's working fine for me.

      To my knowledge, it's impossible to predict which medicines will be effective for any given individual. One are of research is biomarkers and genome sequencing. The hope is that with this, they will be able to predict response rates and recommend the appropriate medicines then. But all in it's infancy.
