Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) "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."

Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) "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 get another exacerbation or relapse. My neurologist came to my room the second day I was there and she told me I need 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 but before I started the treatment I declared to myself that I will research about this medication research the side effects and research the negative things that this will 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."

Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) "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 affects. I just take as prescribed. Haven't had any MS symptoms (flare-ups) since 2010."

Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) "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."

"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 w/ a cane as a precaution), & 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 & prescriptions are free. This is VA Healthcare, which is a US 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."
