This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thank you very much, there's a lot of good info in there. As mentioned I am leaning towards Ocrevus at the advice of my Neuro (versus Lemtrada, she gave me a choice and said do some research) However I am still going to speak to someone my mother met at the market who is on Ocrevus now. I don't know...

I'm going to bump this thread instead of starting my own as I have the same question. I was given the choice of Ocrevus or Lemtrada. Both have risky side effects it seems, can anyone out there share their experience thus far taking either one of these? My mom ran into a lady at the market recently w...

Hey I just wanted to report back. So I stopped taking Tecfidera to test it out, initially I felt great... and then a few hours later bam the dizziness/weakness hit.

Hi thanks! I do not believe I have had that specific test, but as part of seeing a new neuro who specializes in MS, she has ordered a pleothora of tests and bloodwork. My vitamin D from blood tests is low, (I dont remember the actual number I want to say 17?) and she wants it at 70. Again i dont kno...

Sorry to necro an old thread from 3 years ago but it deals with my current question. I am dealing with extreme fatigue and would love some feedback: I started tecfidera 11/7/16.
