Hello I'm a newby. Nice to meet you all

Hi and thanks for your reply.
I must admit that I haven't  been drinking as much as i should with these tablets and because I feel yuk not been eating an awful lot either. Maybe i should start forcing myself to eat and drink more.
I do have this nauseated feeling a lot of the day but it does come and go. I take my tablets at breakfast, lunch and dinner time.
I am starting on 120mg once a day tomorrow  + the 30mg tabs as instructed. So am a bit apprehensive but need to give it a go. Psoriasis isn't  improving much yet. ?. Oh well lets see what tomorrow brings.

Hi Audrey,

I think I recognize the feeling you describe. We have a great word for it called "misselijk". It think that is about what you feel and yes, I have that also some times. Can't remember if that was in the beginning of the treatment, but I still have it regularly. It feels if food didn't fall right in your belly. Under normal circumstances it would be a sign that you get sick, but in this case you won't. It will pass by and you will not get sick. Only the feeling is there.
I have a rather blunt way of dealing with it. I just ignore it. As I know it belongs to the treatment and it is not harmful in any way, just annoying, and I don't like annoying things so I ignore.

Second point. Yes it may be that you don't see much yet. DMF is a slow burner, it will take a while. Just keep continuing. The fact that you have flushes is the best sign that your body is reacting so in some way the medicine is working.

I hope Bill will kick in with his experiences. @Bill, can you give a reaction please?

Cheers,
Caroline
