Sorry to hear of your trials MB. I too dread colds as they always seem to progress to chest infections. Now I just go on antibiotics asap. Fortunately Jim and Caroline have escaped this. Low lymphocytes are unlikely to be a problem, and the recent changes in treatment parameters seem very precautionary. Low neutraphils however are a serious problem and put you at great risk of serious infection. Was it made certain that Fumaderm was the sole cause?
I treat myself with 800 mg doses a couple of times a week with great effect, which is about 500 mg less than your weekly dose. As Caroline pointed out it seems to be nice to my white cells as well. My treatment is experimental, so I post for interest, not as guidance. I can say that taking l-cysteine powder has helped greatly with the gastric symptoms. Usually I dose an hour before my dmf then again before I sleep. I have also been supplementing with B vitamins since my last blood test, so I will find out whether this has made any difference in another four weeks or so.
I hope that things work better for you this time.
Cheers,
Bill
