As for the DMF flush, looked for information and found a bit on the drug itself but still don`t quite know what a DMF flush is???
It is a side effect of DMF. Specifically if you are not used to it, then when taking it, after a number of hours most users get a flush.
It’s a tintling sensation as if thousands of little needles a sticking you. It starts at the top of your head and from there it spreads over your whole body (or can spread) and you turn completely red, way worse than when you blush . All your veins also the tiny ones are being flushed through.
I secondhand heard from someone who had meunieres, the ear and dizziness problem, unsolvable. Then he also got Psoriasis and started with DMF and he told me magically his meunieres disappeared and the only logical reason is because of the fact the flushed cleared up his hearing organs.
Lots of information about DMF here:
Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis
Fumaderm
Skilarence
Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread
*But I'm not sure of it's available on prescription in Canada.
