I took the starting dose twice a day. Became fiery red blotchy. Short of breath.
My dr reduced it to 120 mg daily with Zyrtec and food.
I thought I was doing better but now that I am on 240. Mg at bedtime I get red, it hie, especially my palms of my hands and short of breath. I go to bed with cpap and oxygen. I also take Benadryl.
I pass out pretty much from the Benadryl and wake up fine in the morning.
The chest tightness worries me. Doc says give it time.
Anyone have suggestions?
Unfortunately, fatty foods help the best. Hang in there!
Just to update, half a peanut butter sandwich,& Zyrtec helped, now taking full dose with only residual itching and flushing.
I took Benadryl 1 hr prior to Tecfidera .and 1.5 hr prior to going to sleep. I fell asleep before the symptoms appeared. I woke up 3 hr later and was fine. Yea!
Thank you, good to here.
