I'm on tecfidera for my MS and have flushes with it but lately when I get hot when I'm having a flush I've noticed not only does my face sting but my eyes are? It mostly happens when I have a flush but sometime when I get my pins and needles in my face! Is this normal? Sorry to bother you guys!

Am on tecifedera also. When I first started taking it I would get the flushing too. Face and body. And I would itch. I take baby aspirin that they recommend to take and it does help. Now that I have been on it a while. I don't get the flushing. Just once in a blue mood. I carry with me my baby aspirin

Yes, I get that stinging in my eyes also...the flush and the hotness and stinging only last about 30 minutes though...I think it all goes with the meds...

Ibe been on it for just over a year now I still get the odd flushing now and then and I also get like a burning / tingling around my eyes but suppose it's a price to pay as had an mri and since starting it there's no new lesions ☺☺

I've been on it since December it, sometimes my eyes have stung but nothing to worry about so I was told. I used to suffer so bad with hot flushes 😩
