First, welcome Tiffany! I'm glad you found the site and decided to join us. 🙂

I've never been on that DMT drug Tiffany. But Dr. Boster has some thoughts and expert opinions on Tecfidera in videos here: ( https://www.youtube.com/@AaronBosterMD/search?q...). (I strongly recommend checking out his YouTube channel; he has *dozens* of videos on many, many aspects of MS and living with MS.)
