Hi Jiml, Kat, Caroline and Fred.
Thanks for the welcome and replies.
Jim re the side effects, some days are better than others but most days the cramps and visits to the bathroom are 2-3 times. I don't seem to have any pattern with so many hours after taking them, or what I eat with them as to when the side effects kick in. The cramps range from slight to pretty sore, feeling the need to bend over at times to help with the pain. In love with my hot water bottle! Ha . I spend a lot of time in the bathroom, usually at ungodly hours. My stomach or should I say intestines wake me anything from 4.30 am to the latest 6.30am. Once I have visited the bathroom 2-4 times , I'm better, until the next time. Flushes come and go , first few weeks they actually felt like they were burning my face, especially where the P is on my face, but now just slightly warm, nothing major.
I've been reading on here for sometime and thanks to the input of the outcome with Fumaderm , I am quite prepared to crawl about the place if need be for good results and the fact most say the side effects will subside.
The literature I have with the tabs do not give me an indication of when an improvement should be seen. Having asked my derm she says give them 3 months. Now I'm in 9 weeks, although only 2 days on maximum dose , I'm hoping something happens soon, would hate to think I'm going through this for nothing .
Kat and Caroline, thanks I hope they work too.
Fred, yeah stopped stalking now, will try and join in. Yep I do mean Grizzly Bear, came across GB previously and his wee pictures always made me smile.
Well thanks very much again.
