Hello Audrey,
A second Welcome to Psoriasisclub.
Jim and Bill already told you a lot.
So perhaps I should make a little overview of it.
Yes, what you experience are the so called flushes. They differ in intensity. Sometimes only your head, sometimes even your whole body.The advantage of that will be that you become quite warm
. Luckily it is totally harmless. It even has a number of advantages as all your tiny vessels will be cleaned by your blood.
The only moment I didn't like the occurrence was in situations that you are in the middle of the attention already and than become totally lobster red.
They last between 20-30 minutes.
That you already experience them now, may even be a good sign, as your body reacts on the DMF.
I read about the other things you used, and indeed, most of those do not help in the long run. With Fumaderm you at least have a 70% chance that it will work for you. It is good to know that.
Jim and Bill warn you for stomach cramps, well I will have to go on their word, I don't have them, but I don't use fumaderm.
Alcohol is ok. Beer is even the best. Wine is less good and they say that you should avoid red wine. I myself don't drink much, but if I drink, I don't keep a real eye on what I exactly drink.
There is the possibility of an additional diet to enhance the effectivity of the DMF. For some this seems to help, for others there is no effect, and again others just don't do it.
Of course you already know that you have to keep an eye on a number of substances in your blood, of them the lymphocytes are the most important.
If you have any other questions, certainly don't hesitate to ask them.
And for certainly have fun on the forum,
Caroline
