"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"Recently switched from Tecfidera to Vumerity due to side effects. Vumerity has been much easier on my stomach."

"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."
