Hi Jim,
I was replacing the timing belt on my Fiat when you posted this. The lack of FDA approval relates to fumaric esters for psoriasis, not rrms. The concern about lymphopaenia seems overblown as the risk is very small, you need to have it for at least six months, and there are symptoms of lymphopaenia like fatigue and susceptibility to colds which dont require a blood test. There is some uncertainty about low grade damage, hence your MRI scan and my agreement with you of the prudence of maintaining a high count. What I find out about the lymphocyte count and sun exposure might prompt further comment.
Cheers,
Bill
