I feel fine so far, just took my first 120mg pill about 2 hours ago. I'm very skeptical about starting any new med. I took Copaxone in 2015 for about a month and experienced horrible side effects. Along with injection site pain,
it made me lose my mind, even had me feeling suicidal - which is unlike me. I've had a few steroid infusions in late 2017, but other than that I've been off DMDs for the vast majority of the time since my 7/2011 diagnosis. I feel like I need to try something because of my main MS symptom of constant cognitive problems. They almost had me lose my 5 year employment. I became ADA protected by a $700 neuropsych test and am able to take fmla sick leave when needed. My employee also abides by a few workplace accommodations that were recommended by the neuropsychologist.
Now I'm worried of course about tec giving me more problems than relief! I'm hoping for the best. No flushing so far. I just want my brain power back to what it was before diagnosis. Will Tec help? Has it helped anyone with cognitive improvement?
