[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[LadyBug]

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

it's been increased step by step, I was with 360/360 in the meantime, however after that night with mistake I felt larger dosis better, we changed gradually to take more in the morning and slightly less for the night for better sleep. As I was waking up at night.
so we went during 2 weeks with 120 mb increase and in same time change of dosis to keep more impact in the morning, as for me it seems to be easier to deal with during the day ( I can eat more , drink etc)...

on 720/240 I am on 7th day today. whats funny most side effects I am getting 8(!) hours after taking pills in the morning.

No headaches or nausea anyone? I am not sure what is causing this. Might be new birth control pill but I am not sure now.
