the side effects of Fumaderm were for me abdominal cramps, for me they came a few hours after taking my tablets and lasted around half an hour, some were bad enough to double me up, the other thing is hot flushes. They start with the top of your head and work their way down your body.... Not unpleasant but can be embarrassing .......after a couple of months for me the side effects stopped apart from the flushing which I still get most days

found a few related threads for you to look at if you wish it's other experiences of Fumaderm

Some very encouraging stuff.  Thank you.  I am a little sad at cc''s problems with the protein levels.  I hope she gets the all clear to continue.  I definitely want to try the Fumaderm..

glad you enjoyed the read .....if you want more hit the search button at the top of the page and type in Fumaderm and more threads will pop up

Yes it is a shame about CC 's problem  

If you need a little bit background on the working substance (DMF) just read my thread on Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

Thank you very much Caroline.. I have read and slightly understood how this drug works.. What's more interesting is that it's being shunned by medical orgs?  Hmm

Yes Connor, certainly abroad (for me that is outside of the Netherlands) there is hardly knowledge and doctors try to avoid it. In the Netherlands it seems that slowly the beacons are shifting towards DMF as the first treatment to try. Mainly due to its non-toxity and the good results.
In the mean time there are (is) big pharms who begin to understand and keep it under the radar with the ideas to later on earn a lot of money on it, that has already started, and to protect their own biological markets. The ideal thing of DMF is that it works for more different auto immune diseases als psoriasis, sarcoidosis, crohns, MS, etc.
