Has anyone broke out in shingles after starting Tecfidera?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Littlefork, MN

I started Tecfidera 4 days ago and I seem to have broken out in the shingles! Will be calling the doctor in the morning of course but am wondering if anyone else has an experience with this?

Everybody should get the shingles vaccine! One round of shingles was enough for me!

Thanks for the tip. I'm in enough skin pain with SCLERADERMA,that I just couldn't bear any other kind of skin problems....
