Hi tanlou,
Sorry to see you in the wars with the side effects. I had horrible side effects for several months, including severe headaches. I would often skip doses because of them. My side effects now are an upset tummy and an occasional flush, with both resolving after a few hours. I also hate taking my medicine, but I think that this reaction is psychosomatic. I would also repeat Caroline's point that there are other formulations. Fumaderm is a mixture of fumaric acid esters. All of them will give you side effects, but only DMF will act on your disease.
Best wishes,
Bill
