I came off Plegridy approximately 10 weeks ago (had reaction to it) and before that I was on Tecfidera (had a bad allergic reaction to it) and prior to that I was on Betaseron, successfully for 12 years----was just really tired of being a human pincushion.
My question is this: has anyone else out there developed joint or muscle weakness since being on whatever meds you've chosed to treat your MS? I realize that I am in the aging bracket (I'm 60) and some joint deterioration is to be expected but it seems that after taking Tecfidera and then Plegridy, my joints have been worse than what I'd considered normal.
I've asked my PCP about this and we had my knees Xrayed----only found very minor arthritis. It began in my knees and now my left ankle is having the same issues. Am I going crazy?
