On my 6th day of 120mg starter pack. I have the flushing 20-30 minutes after every dose, tried food, asprin, is this normal?? Spent 7 weeks on Copaxone with multiple episodes!! It feels like a "nuclear stress test " if anyone knows or had one....
@A MyMSTeam Member, thanks, I am still a "newbie" and doctors were straight with me, it may take a few tries before we find something that "agrees" with me. Bumpy ride ahead!!
Try cream cheese. A pharmacist told me this trick, it really helps with flushing be sure to eat before taking Tefidera.
Dear @A MyMSTeam Member.I was on @ Tecfidera. Initially I had 1 or 2 flushing experiences, that is all, but months later I began to get a very red, burning that felt like a chemical burn, it was very painful. The episodes began on my ears and scalp moving down my face, chest and arms. One time my right leg got involved. My throat and esophagus burned also. As time went by, they became more frequent and intense. My neurologist didn't think it was from @ Tecfidera but advised me to stop it for 3 days, sure enough it stopped so I had to stop taking T. I this helps.
Thank you!:)
I didn't have that happen, but i didn't like the way i felt. I felt very worn out. Aubagio is working much better for me. Hope u find something that works for u.
