Jim is right take the Fumaderm with yoghurt, that protects your stomach and prevents problems there.
Other rule... Build up slowly, slow increase of the medication is better. That is because there is a reaction of the lymphocytes. They go lower but normally gradually recover when you get used to it. With a slow build up this recovery process works better.
Other rule.. If your lymphocyte count goes below 0.5 that reduce the dose !
There are more bloodvalues that are important. Those are the bloodvalues that tell you about the condition of your kidneys and liver. Specifically the latter. But... Most important are the lymphocytes.
Then there is also a diet you may follow. For some people that works.
I hope this answers a bit of what you want to know.
If you have other questions, just do ask them!
