The main difference between these drugs is that Vumerity has been shown to have fewer gastrointestinal side effects than Tecfidera, which usually happens when patients first start the medication. If gastrointestinal side effects have been a problem for you with Tecfidera, Vumerity may be a better...

“Have I stretched every day?”

What is a fall? There are many definitions of a fall that are used in healthcare and even definitions of “near-falls.” Both are very significant in assessing the health of a person with multiple sclerosis. It is probably the most important reason to see a physical therapist every year; even if you believe or you have been told that your MS is stable. Fall risk and balance deconditioning can occur slowly and typically patients only think they should see a fall-prevention specialist like the...
