More Positive Info on Tecfidera

[kwarendorf]

At CMSC-ACTRIMS a presentation showed quality of life improvements in a significant number of Tecfidera users v. placebo.

I'm looking forward to discussing Tecfidera with my doc later this month. My last JCV antibody test was positive so we're going to be looking for alternatives to Tysabri, my current DMD.

Started on Tecfidera last week after a two week battle with the pharmacy.

I had a few reactions the first three days on the 120mg but after the 3rd day everything was back to normal.

Started the 240mg on Monday had a few problems that day but nothing since.  

My Nuero office was also part of the study and all I have heard is good things.  So I am trying to keep a positive outlook on this.

Thanks for the update, Kyle! I know that my hospital is a site that ran both CONFIRM and DEFINE and there was a good bit of positive buzz around them alright.

I hadn't even noticed ACTRIMS was just on. ECTRIMS is usually in September or October, I think. That's when the department is emptied out! They likely did have a few over in Florida though.
