[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Caroline]

This is a continuation of the introduction thread introduce myself of Deena.

thanks Caroline Jiml and Grizly Bear.

I have adjusted it Caroline, I'm female :-)
I find the dutch psorinovo forum/site verry useful I agrea, and I don't mind to pay for it, but it would be more usefull if the forum is more up to date, and it is more fun on a forum when there are more members on line.
I'm please to meet a fellow psorinovo user. I am curious if you also suffer side effects from it. for me it went wel for weeks. I also take reishi/ganoderma capsules and I didn't had side effects , 3 weeks ago I stopt taking the reishi capsules and the past 2 weeks I sufferd from flushings and hives. yesterday I started taking the reishi capsules again and the flushings finely stopt (do you cal it also flushing, when your head gets realy red, and hot?) I only suffer a little bit from the hives, but now I won't stop taking the reishi anymore. how much psorinovo do you take? Caroline? I have still the highest dose, I take 720mg a day. I hope to decrease the dose in march.

hope to hear from you about your experience.

Will answer you later on.
Now at work.

Hi Deena,
So I'm back finally from work and sports, now time to answer.

Great you're female, gives a bit more weight for us in the forum between the men.  

About the flushes, yes I have them too. Depending on the intensity it is only my head or even my whole body. No big deal however, it is harmless.
So you also have PsA just like me. I am also on 6x120mg a day. 6 pills. But you are mistaken that that is the maximum dose, in fact there is no maximum dose.
I guess your dermatologist  told that to you. But unfortunately we already know from many sources that dermatologists have hardly any knowledge on DMF and on psoriasis. Which is completely logical as it is an auto immune disease, so should belong to an internists work field.
So you can easily take the double dose, no pRobles. The only major thing that is important is keeping an eye on your blood values, specifically the lymphocyte may not get too low.

I am very interested on your reishi capsules. As they seem to compensate for the flushes and hives, although I do not exacly know what you mean by hives. (Ik gok even, is dat een soort van uitslag?)
I am certainly going to do some research on this reishi.

Hope to see you around more often, because indeed this is a fun forum, once you get a little bit at home.

Cheers,
Caroline
