Re: my ms story

amurray1, Words can not express how sorry I am to have read your story and how terrible of an experience it has been for you.

Re: Struggling with Tecfidera side effects

That sounds good about the probiotics. Maybe I should try some too. I hope that when you restart the tecfidera, it doesn't give you the nausea and diarrhea again. Are you also taking zofran to help with the nausea? I think staying ahead of it helped me come out of that spiral of side effects. I stil...
