Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

Thanks, Caroline. I am trying to work out a stable dosing regime. I am thinking that seven doses every 4 weeks might work. It was good to have my lymphocyte count high enough to let me dose as I have.

Hi John,

With air travel you never know the pedigree of your next cold. At least with the warm weather I am recovering quickly. I will continue supplementing with iron twice a week as it did correlate with an increase in lymphocytes.

Thank you, Jim. I did hope I would cope a bit better on the higher dose, but that's the way the cookie crumbles with experiments.

Hi Fred,

Going by the last drug holiday I took, about three weeks before the psa starts to return: That is why I don't want a break of more than four weeks. The p is much slower to reappear so I could probably break for several months without much change, but with the psa appearing much faster I wont find out.

How long does it take to control things when I start dosing? From four to six weeks when I started taking dimethyl fumarate. I think it still takes about the same time, but these days there is much less p and psa to control. That said, sometimes the psa will get worse for a bit for no apparent reason, but that hasn't happened much of late. I am grateful that the drug works for me.

Cheers
