Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "I've been taking this medication for almost a year, but before this, I wasn't taking anything for MS, and I ended up in the hospital because I had to get another exacerbation or relapse. My neurologist came to my room the second day I was there, and she told me I needed to take the medication or I'll be disabled for the rest of my life. I didn't want to depend on anything, but I gave the meds a try. Before I started the treatment, I declared to myself that I would research this medication, research the side effects, and research the negative things that this would cause in me. What I found has really helped me with this medication, and I haven't had side effects or any adverse reactions to it."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "Was on Tecfidera since it first came out. Insurance coverage (UHC) forced me onto Vumerity for 2023. Haven't had any issues and I'm 100% pleased. No side effects. I just take as prescribed. Haven't had any MS symptoms (flare-ups) since 2010."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "I took Vumerity for about 4 months. Side effects: face swelling, and I had relapses that were awful, like dizziness for 7 days. I was diagnosed in March 2020. Think I'm better off eating a healthy diet and exercising daily."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "I have been taking Vumerity for about a year now. I just had my annual MRI check-up and there does not seem to be any growth or new lesions, so it must be working. I do try to eat with it. However, I take it BEFORE I am ready to eat, as my side effects do not kick in for two hours. My side effects include flushing, itching, and redness."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "I can’t believe how easy it has been on Vumerity. I haven’t had any stomach issues. Slight flushing on the first day, aspirin gets rid of that. It’s amazing! I had terrible gastrointestinal issues with Tecfidera & tons of upper respiratory infections on Ocrevus. Highly recommend Vumerity."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I've been taking this for about 9 months. My neurologist switched me to it due to being easier than taking a daily shot. I would forget to take my shot frequently, which was resulting in a lower MS medication level in my body. This lower medication level was allowing additional damage. I've been on MS medication for 19 years. I'm still walking (now with a cane as a precaution) and working full-time. I watched Glatiramer Acetate go from a retail cost of $8000/month (generic only lowered the cost $1000/month). By luck, my diagnosis was within the presumptive service connection time period. Now all my medical care and prescriptions are free. This is VA Healthcare, which is a U.S. federal government universal healthcare that Republicans reject. It is the largest healthcare organization in the USA. Contrary to the loudmouths, it runs great. I wouldn't be doing this well if I had to rely on the company insurance cartel for funding my healthcare."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "Recently switched from Tecfidera to Vumerity due to side effects. Vumerity has been much easier on my stomach."

Diroximel fumarate for Multiple Sclerosis "I've been on Vumerity for 2 years. It's easy. I had flushing in the beginning but took baby aspirin. Pepto-Bismol for tummy issues. Now, I don't have any side effects. MRIs have been clear and no relapse. I'm very pleased with this drug. It is so hard to pick a DMT. I hope this works for me for several more years."
