Can it stop working after a time? If yes then what might be my new options?
I am from the DMF gang.
It is unlikely that Skilarence has stopped working. It is more logical that you are experiencing a serious flare up that instabilizes the treatment.
DMF is not like biologicals, where you can build up antibodies, indeed it can be that it stops working, but as I said, it is unlikely. It may be that for a short period you may need some more, Jims also knows about that.
What is your current dose?
How is the state of your lymphocites and eosinofilen? Those two are very important in measuring how the treatment works.
Do you still get the flushes some times?
Like to hear from you
Cheers,
Caroline.
im on the full dose of 6 tablets per day and yes get the occasional hot flush. My white cells were very low at my last blood test and I have come down with this bad cold that I just can’t shift. Gutted.
