A week ago, I had a few GI problems: three or four days with mild diarea, gas, and feeling a bit nauseous. Did I jinx myself? Or is it unrelated with taking Tecfidera. If it is related it would be weird having the first symptoms a month and a half after starting.
Last week-end, things were much better for me. Unfortunately, my wife had sever nausea, vomitting, etc. Most likely, this was some kind of virus.
As my neurologist told me, one thing that we tend to do when we have MS is attribute a bunch of things to the disease that are not necessarily a symptom. I guess, the same goes for attributing things to the treatment.
All is back to normal now!
Hello. Why did you stop posting? Are you still on Tecfidera? I started it a few days and just found your blog x
ReplyDeleteI'm still on Tecfidera and still no side effects. All that I have noticed since I started is that last month, for the first time, I had a bit of a sudden rash that went away less than 15 minutes after.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my neurologist has noted that my leucocytes count is low and should be watched more closely. He's giving me blood tests every 3 months to make sure that they don't drop more.
* not rash, sorry. But flushing. And only twice a couple of years after I started. Weird.
DeleteI haven't been posting out of laziness and I thought nobody was readying :-)
