Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[jiml]

Another update. I have increased my dosage of DMF by 50% for the first four weeks after my last test to 4800 mg. Over the past fortnight I have been taking 1600 mg weekly. The latest test result:

Total WBC:5.6    N:3.9   L:0.896  M:0.6  E:0.11  B:0.06

So my lymphocytes have decreased by only 0.04, despite the increase in dosage. I will decrease the dosage to 4000 mg per month and will have a further blood test in six weeks. By doing this I hope to finally get my lymphocyte count back above 1. At this level I will have another go at increasing the dosage. I have been supplementing with ~7 grams of glutamine daily, and I will  continue with this amount. I am still holding to the idea that a higher lymphocyte count will support a higher DMF dose.

Cheers,

Bill

That's a great set of results Bill the slight drop is inconsequential, you seem to be on the right track. Yes it seems as if a higher lymphocyte count will support a higher dose. But I think possibly odd infections will occasionally knock the lymphocytes down and you will then have to reduce the dose to bring them up again.
Good luck, great to read your progress
