Update - a week later

It's been about a week since my last update.

Tecfidera: thumbs up
No symptoms so far, nothing. I take the pills in the morning with breakfast and at night with supper. I have not been punctual, i.e. exactly 12 hours in between because of my schedule, but I try to keep doses between 10 and 14 hours apart.

There has been no issues. Also, I don't make sure, as I did at first, that I have a good portion of protein with the medication. I just eat normally.

I also went to the pharmacy to fill the next month long prescription for Tecfidera. I was kind of pissed because, I had called ahead to make sure the 240mg pills were ordered (they don't keep it at the local pharmacy). When I picked them up, two days later, they had ordered 120mg pills, just twice as many.

It's no big deal, but it shows that they are not extremely reliable and I need to order the updates at least a week before in case they make another error.

MRI
Had an MRI done a few days ago. It's the six months follow-up MRI. It shows that it's been six months since I had my first and last episode. I'll get the results at my next appointment with the neurologist in October.

MS symptoms
They are still there, that is I have a bit of blurry vision or slow vision. When my body heats up, as on a long run last Sunday, the blurry vision gets worse.
But the good news is that, I seem better at work. I'm not feeling as tired as the day progresses.
