First 3 months

Post by Jazzyca »

Hi everyone,

I'm 28 years old and I was diagnosed with MS this past July. I have the common form with times of regression. I immediately started taking Tecfidera. Side effects I have experienced have been flushing accompanied by itching (flushing can be intense), weight gain, bloating, stiffness of joints (I believe due to bloating), and intense menstrual cramps.
The pain experienced before and during my cycle is the worst side effect. The first 2 days consisted of a very heavy flow and disabling cramps. After the first 2 days I only had light spotting for the rest of the week. It's cervical pain. I could deal with the other side effects (weight gain sucked) but the cramping is intolerable.
Anyone else experience this intense cervical pain?
