Feeling off...

I've been on tecfidera since october and I LOVE it. I can definitely tell a difference in my fatigue and balance.

The last couple days, I have just felt off... I don't even know how to describe it, but was curious if others experience this. The best way I can explain it is it feels almost like muscle knots in my throat and my stomach and just that feeling that something is off... Thoughts???

I am also on Tecfidera and really like its benefits. I don't have an idea y u r feeling this way. There are a large # of germs around. I felt overly tired & off this past Friday. Even though I feel better, my kids are very sick, throwing up, etc.

((HUGS)) to help u feel better

Maybe you are having a mini flare or the beginning of a flare. Hope you shake this off fast.

Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
