So we were surprised yesterday when The Curmudgeon’s starter kit showed up for his Tecfidera.  He was told he’d get it Wednesday.

     Therefore, he took his first two doses yesterday.  Now we wait and see how it goes from here. 

Warnings and Precautions

• 
  Tecfidera reduced blood lymphocyte (white blood cell) counts but no
  significant or severe infections were reported. Liver enzyme tests were
  elevated, but there were no reports of significant liver injury or liver
  failure.

Possible Side Effects

• The most common side effects in the clinical trials of Tecfidera were
  flushing (which can create a sensation of heat or itching and a red
  blush on the skin) and gastrointestinal events (such as diarrhea,
  nausea, and upper abdominal pain). The incidence of these events during
  clinical trials was highest in the first month of treatment, decreasing
  thereafter. Taking Tecfidera with food may reduce flushing. Tecfidera
  reduced blood lymphocyte (white blood cell) counts but no significant or
  severe infections were reported.

     So far he’s had the flushing.  We’re hoping that’s all he gets.

     You all have a good one!
