Fumaderm - questions.

[jiml]

Debbie don't forget to ask at the hospital why they are increasing your dose so slowly  

Jim, the dose cannot be increased fast, you know that right ? The influence on the lympho's is too big then, your body has to get used to the levels of DMF.
That is the big problem with Tecfidera, they are increasing the dose too fast.

Caroline Debbie has been on fumaderm for 10 weeks and is still on a low dose. I was just concerned that the reason it wasn't working was that the build up had been rather slow, and she thought she was on maximum dose
Here's what was written earlier

Hi Debbie yes it is a strange drug and it affects us all differently, I have been lucky and got through all the side effects and got to a clear  skin
Can I ask this is week 10 or 11 for you if my memory is any good . So are you taking6 tablets a day?

If so you should start to get consistent results soon with clearing ,
Which side effects are bad for you is it cramps or diarrhoea . Ignore people with ignorant remarks.... It could be them next
Are you seeing much change in your skin?

Hi now on week 10, just taking 3 tablets thought this was full dose? It,s diarrhoea and that funny head flush which sometimes come with a skin reaction - its like heat rash from my waist upwards, my skin burns and itches for about 2 hours.
My hands are much better, but my feet seem to change on a daily basis from really quite manageble to some very painful cracks a day later. i am using Healan tape as well which does seem to help, but is only temporary
