Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

Hi Fred,

The vinegar is to pop the red cells so I can count the white ones. It will pop the white cells as well eventually, but there is still plenty of time to count them.

Hi Caroline,

I dont take DMF during colds for a few reasons other than a cold being a possible indicator of lowered immunity. One is that I feel bad enough with a cold and I dont want DMF side effects on top of it, although this was more pertinent when I was taking DMF twice daily. Another is that my disease doesn't seem to flare when I take a break for a week or so, so there isn't a great imperative to take the drug when I am sick. But without a regular blood count there is a bit more risk, so I tend to be a bit more cautious, although I have no symptoms that would indicate a lowered immunity.

Thanks for the flattering pic.

Cheers,

Bill
