Start your Tecfidera using Ladymac's advise, and hopefully you will have no problems. I have been taking Tec. almost two years, and with only only a few minor tummy upsets at the start, I have had no problems. I feel great, and have had no apparent relapses.

Diet and timing seem to be the biggist hurdle peo...

Hi, I am new to this site. I wanted to share my experiences with Tecfidera that have been, for the most part, the discovery of the miracle drug we all hope to find.
