Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

Over the past six weeks I have taken a further seven doses, or 5600mg of DMF. For the past few weeks I have taken the DMF as a finely ground powder. It is far more active in this form, so I have to be careful: Taking a dose with a large bowl of pasta caused me to vomit for the first time with DMF, whereas taken mixed with ice cream after a bowl of muesli works quite well. I continue to supplement with 2* 3.5 grams of glutamine, and add 2 grams of cysteine to each dose on days I take DMF. For the past few weeks I have also been using b12 patches (~5 patches a week). A blood test yesterday gave the following results:

Total WBC:6.9 N:5.1 L:0.966 M:0.7 E:0.07 B:0.07

Compare this with the test six weeks earlier:

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

Th lymphocyte count is lower than I would like, but has at least increased. As I am comfortable with the current DMF dosage I think that I will continue with it until my next blood test. I might also consider b12 injections to further investigate whether it might be having an effect on the cell count. I continue to avoid the sun.
