I've changed from Rebif to Tecfidera because A) I'm tired of being a pin cushion and B) My platelets keep going down and up. I haven't found any reference to lowered platelets on Tecfidera only lowered WBC. Anybody have any experience here?
You are not the only one to have this. My Dr. does not currently believe its related to Tecfidera but I do. My platelet count has been gradually dropping. My periods are heavier and I have explainable bruising. They don't want to admit that unusual side affects are in fact side affects. We all need to be sure to report unexpected side affects. I'm hoping my body can hold out until Ocrilizamab is on the market...
I've been on tecfidera for over 2 years. WBC seems to remain at a very good level however I am seeing a drop in platelet count. Will be checking with my neurologists next week.
