I have used Biogen treatments for MS for many years and have done well. However for the past two years I have taken Tecfidera until one day my teeth began to break off. This was a new thing, I had never had problems like that in the past. I went to Dentist immediately when my 2 front teeth broke off to my horror. I was 59 years old, recently abandoned by my husband and broke. No dental insurance. I went to a charitable facility based on income (Social Security) when I came home I Idly Googled Tecfidera and tooth loss. Only to find an FDA study showing tooth loss in women ages 50_ 59. I was so depressed and still am. I have spent $600.00 on temporary fix on front teeth but still need multiple fillings, crowns, extractions.
Would it have been too much to ask to warn women in their late fifties that although they have lost almost everything that made them a woman,
Now you have no teeth. I have never sued anyone but this might be a good time to start.
What do you think? Me representing myself against Biogen?
