My specialist wants me to go on ms meds and gave me 3 choices. Copaxone injection, Aubagio or Tecfidera. Which is the safest?

Copaxone is the most natural. In order to take Aubagio I required a trip to my eye doctor and another 1 month after. Three days into taking the pill I went blind in my left eye. I panicked and stopped the med without contacting my neuro. Three days after stopping my eyesight returned ! My neuro said there was no connection between the 2. WTF? So why was an eye exam needed to start in the first place?

~ That was just my personal experience so others may have better results.

@Tecfidera kept me stable for six years no new lesions now I am seventy my MS burned itself out. I take no medication for MS. You need to take it in the middle of the meal or it will kick you in the stomach.

Did not notice any side effects with @Copaxone . Had to stop @Aubagio due to bad side effects.Feet swelled up terribly.They wanted to see me when they asked if I had blisters and they said that was an emergency visit. Took me off it, never explained to me what the blisters meant.I lost a lot of hair and my skin became very dry.Like it sucked all the natural oils out of me.My hair had always been very full, baby fine hair but lots of it. Always had oily skin Aubagio changed all that. Been off it for 2 years now.Still have the issues from being on it. Wish I never took it.
