Dimethyl fumarate (240mg) for multiple sclerosis (MS)
Haven't had any more attacks, but had a lot of flushes. And since I've been taking it I'm always hungry and I'm putting on weight. Anyone else noticed this side effect?

Dimethyl fumarate (240 mg) for multiple sclerosis (MS)
I use it in treating my MS and find it very beneficial. At the start I had 2 infections which multiplied to 15 within 2 months but now after a while all infections are reduced to a minimum.

It's not been proven that this was caused by the Tecfidera but I'm...

Dimethyl fumarate (240) for multiple sclerosis (MS)
One and a half years ago switched from Betaferon to Tecfidera. A relief that, after seven years, I don't have to to inject myself every day. For me, Tecfidera definitely have a better effect than Betaferon. Fewer relapses and the general feeling that my body has stabilised. Okay, so I do have daily problems with flushing. For this, I was advised to have an 'old-fashioned' aspirin half an hour b...
