[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Caroline]

Thank you Jiml for quick answer!

I am getting cramps, some flushes I think this is it as I recognize them similar to what was written here.

I am on 90mg / 30mg / 30mg now daily.
No other symptoms, I am rather same with my skin, actually I have a feeling that I am a little worse. I think I started with the right moment with Psorinovo to prevent the worsening!

Hi Joanna,

The flushes are no big deal, they are bit of funny. It is as Jim describes, starts at the top of your head, your whole head then becomes terribly red and than slowly it is going down over your shoulders and down to your whole body which then turns red. In the mean time your head is cooling down already, as this became very warm.
You turn more red than when you blush.. :-) (but at least it is explainable hihi)
It is totally harmless, and happens mostly during the build up of the medication. When you reach the dose that really works for you, keep on going, than you will get it less and less. I heard that the flushes even have an advantage for people with Meunières, as your veins are being flushed through the problems of lack of balance with Meunières, appear to vanish.

Cramps I hardly have had, can't remember them. But… my intestines sometimes can be unstable. And than it is important to be close to a toilet as the contents of your intestines can be quite thin. In that case you feel quite some pressure to get rid of it, but I don't call that cramps. Once having been to the toilet, this feeling is gone.
For me it appears impossible to predict when it happens, I always when I come out of bed try to carefully feel how my intestines are doing. It is not nice to get this feeling of urgency when I am riding my motorcycle
