Skilerence - skin looks worse

[Kerry181175]

Skilarence update.  I’m now into week six and currently taken 3 x 120mg, 1 in the morning and 2 in the evening.  Symptoms so far have been a burning sensation starting on my head first and then moves to my arms and chest.  It doesn’t last long (around 20mins) but can be itchy.  Have not yet experienced any other thank god.  Let’s hope it stay this way.  I haven’t seen any improvement in my skin yet   but you have said it can take a few weeks so fingers crossed something happens soon.  X

Hi Kerry,

Yes, that is a common flush. I have had that, and sometimes still have, also, even being completely red. I do not experience it as itchy though.
No big deal and the most harmless side effect. The advantage of having a flush is the fact that is seems that your body reacts to the DMF. That is a positive sign.

Keep on going !, 

Caroline

Thanks Caroline, that’s good to know. Hope it continues to work. X
