Hi Caroline,
That sounds pretty horrible. My plaques get a bit hot and itchy after a few days, but my disease has been reducing over the past few months so I really dont notice much difference over weekends other than the absence of tummy upsets.
I think I must have had a significant immunosuppression as I was quite fatigued also, which was another reason I took a break from treatment. A blood test a few months after was normal. I dont get fatigued now like I used to when I started with DMF, and I am aware of what to look out for. I also test my urine regularly and can happily say that I am in no danger of dying from liver or kidney failure in the near future either.
Cheers,
Bill
