Yes well done Nick, good to see you've started this thread it will be a great way to keep track on your progress .
Well done starting on a low dose that's very sensible, and with a slow build up you will hopefully not get severe side effects ( still expect some though)
, as Bill and Caroline say feel free to ask if you are in doubt about anything or you begin to struggle with the side effects
Have you had a blood test yet? I would also suggest that you record you blood values here ( or at least the lymphocyte count) so you can look back easily and see if there's a trend upwards or down . Keep an eye on liver and kidney function as well
You say you were able to obtain the powdered DMF from a chemist, did he look strangely at you when you ordered it ...and were you able to source it easily ?
I'm not one for supplements myself I try to get all mine from the food I eat and it's served me well so far in life
Good luck and thanks again for starting this thread
