What Treatment Is Suggested For Severe Pain And Itching Of Palms Due To MS?

I was diagnosed with MS about 4 months ago. I have started Tecfidera for my MS. I have had horrible stomach pain since starting and was given Hyoscyamine 0.125mg PRN cramping which has not been helpful. I am now having severe pain and itching in the palms of my hands and feet. I have tried Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream with no relief.

Hi,

Tecfidera is well-known for this kind of side-effect. Do not stop taking it yourself, but please see your MS specialist as soon as possible!

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Marius Lazar, Dermatologist
