How Do People Find Tecfidera?
I’ve been on Avonex injections for 12 years and I now have a new neurologist (my original has retired) and she doesn’t seem too keen on it. She wants to change me to Tecfidera. What is everyone’s experience of it?
I was on it for 4+ years and liked it. Stabilized my condition. Then Big Pharma and Insurance decided they would not provide it even though I have good insurance and their co-pay assistance. Put me on the generic and have had adverse reactions over the last five months. Just met with Neuro and I am going to move over to Ocrevus after flushing the Dimethyl Furmate from the system. Approx. 8 weeks.
Tecfidera will not make ur symptoms disappear. It just stops flare ups and halts progression of the disease. I am on it and I’m not a fan. I am looking to get on ocrevis but I am taking a risk cuz I have JC virus and pml. But idgaf.
I loved being on Techfedera but dropped it when it went Generic. My doc changed me to Vulmerity & so far it’s been good! I wanted to take pills not shots. So far Vulmerity has been great!
Hi Winglessbird. About 7 years ago my neuro had me on Tecfidera. My walking did not improve, but it was such a relief not to inject everyday. He took me off it after 2 mos. because my white cell count became dangerously low.
