Fumaderm side effects - remedies?

[jiml]

Hi Jim, how are you? Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm taking them with meals and drinking plenty of fluids. I'm determined to stick with it and I do believe they will pass. This morning was definitely the worst, and its the first time they have actually made me sick, though the cramps subsided afterwards. Did you find anything helped you through this phase?

Hi I'm fine but not liking the cold damp weather at the moment
To be honest I wasn't lucky enough to belong to this forum when I started on Fumaderm. I only found it after I had been on it for a year.
I was warned of the side effects, but after poison methotrexate I felt I would suffer any side effect rather than go back to that.

So I just toughed it out and some of the cramps were severe and doubled me up with pain, but it was never long lasting with me and it never made me sick.
I found that the side effects peaked but didn't get more severe, and after a couple of months they started to reduce as my body stopped fighting it

The cramping and flushes are a sign your body is adapting to fumaderm and it is beginning to work

I'm glad you are going to stick with it, and knowing it will get better should help and we here on psoriasiclub are a good support network for you and will help as much as possible
Jim
