Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

Goodo, Fred. There is research suggesting that a high vitamin d blood level is the culprit with DMF use, but I think that this would only apply in cases where the high d levels result from sun exposure. Anyway, as I am now avoiding the sun and supplementing with vitamin d3, I will find out for myself soon enough.

I wish I could share your amusement, but I am pleased to find a possible link with sun exposure and a low lymphocyte count with DMF usage. It may be possible to use less DMF by combining it with UVB, but for now I want to see my lymphocyte count recover and then see where it goes when I resume DMF with d3 supplementation and minimal sun exposure. PML is a risk when the lymphocyte count stays below 0.8 for more than six months, but it was still a bit of a shock.

Cheers,

Bill
