Hi Ladybug,
Have you noticed a decrease in disease activity such as reduced flaking? I have noted the single large doses to be much more effective than more frequent smaller doses. But the higher doses do have more intense side effects, although remember that I take DMF pure in granular form. Typically the symptoms begin with an unpleasant alteration of taste sensation followed shorty after by a serous nasal discharge. Within about twenty minutes of this I get a prickly heat over my body and an unpleasantness in my gut. Nothing is acutely painful, but I take my dosage at night with a big meal and then lie down for a few hours.
720 mg is a big single dose to take. Are you sure your specialist wanted you to take 3*240 mg and not 3*120 mg? I would not doubt its efficacy, but the balance seems a bit unusual.
Cheers,
Bill
