I wake up with pressure in my head, a slight dizziness/woozy feeling, and burning eyes no matter how long/well I sleep. It just gets worse throughout the day. I had a sleep study done and it was normal, so now I’m wondering if this could be from the Tecfidera?
Possibly thats why the info pamphlets and daily tracking?It helps U track medicine, current and past you an can see whats works for U If you have problem.
Remember one thing none of us like to continue to harp on ourselves. Date, time, how u felt before, med. how u feel 2 today? What u gained , o-10, or same? Worse how?
Have a blessed day.
I don't use tecfidera but as far as your eyes, have the eye doc check to see if you produce enough tears. I don't and have tear duct plugs in both the top and bottom tear ducts of both eyes. It makes a world of difference! They dissolve over time (normally last 6 months or so). Mine dissolve faster and I know when it's time for new ones because of the terrible gritty, itchy, burning eyes.
I have been on Tecfidera for over three years. And recently informed my Dr that I have pressure behind my right eye and pressure in my temples and forehead when I settle down for the evening or lie down in bed. It did not bring any real concern or investigation. Do not attribute it to tec, but rather brain changes.
I took tecfidera for about 7yrs but I didn't experience burning eyes
