I have bEen on Tec Fidera almost 3 years with no new lesions. The side effects are most manageable. It's an excellent MS Med. Just watch your lymphocytes.

Everyone is different. I started on Copaxone. However, soon developed huge hot lumps where the injection site was. So I went to mummy. Avonex, which they told me it will make you feel like scrap for 24 to 48 hours after (like a bad Case of the flu) and caused the me to have migraine with upset stomach. So I was offered Tecfidera, but got very ill and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis from Tecfidera. So I am back on Avonex, which for me has the least amount side effects.
