Allergy to dimethyl fumarate

[Caroline]

Sorry Fred,

I thought I went by the rules. I keep everything in English but this is very particular and I want to know if there are any Dutch things, with special Dutch names.

Thanks for all the help!!!! Your help and website is great!!!!

I read those threads but the itching is not fully covered. At least I think that it doesnt answer my specific question. What I at least can say is that it is maybe positive that I have this other itching. Like the qouted woman tells. You at least can say that something is happening. Maybe in a few weeks I will encounter the same experience. Hope so. So hard.

Hi Nico,

An anti-histamin, is equal in Dutch, anti-histamine. Maryam gave you an excellent answer on that.
The itching is very rare, only very few people have that, but yes I have heard it before. Most people have only the flushing and possible a little nausea. The stomach cramps normally only belong to the people who use Fumaderm. It has never been mentioned with Psorinovo. With Psorinovo also your intestines can be a little "unstable", but stomach cramps.... No.
Anyway it is the best to take the pill in the middle of a good meal. That will spread the working overall through your intestine and gives the least of trouble.
So despite your itching, keep on going, from the people I heart that they had this itching, it disappeared after the drug starter working.
Last but not least, when you are on the final working dose. Do start a scheme of intermittence, so give you body some rest e.g. in the weekend (no pills in the weekend), that will prevent that your body will take countermeasures at DMF. It probably anyway will not, but it is good to do it.

Cheers,
Caroline.
