Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

Hi Caroline,

I take my DMF with a meal and soy milk, and I think that the side effects are at the mild end of the spectrum, from what I have read of people taking formulations like fumaderm.

Maybe I am at the end of the Bell Curve, but I suspect that the side effects might be post absorption rather than pre absorption, so measures like enteric coatings and slow release formulations will only do so much.

In any event, Australian laws would prevent me from importing Fumaderm (not that I am complaining about something which is 2% of the cost), and if DMF is approved for MS therapy, I doubt if I will be able to import that either. Maybe I should stock up.

I Thank you for your informative posts. I have been taking DMF for 2 1/2 weeks now and I am finding it to be very effective. The side effects, apart from the headaches, have been annoying but bearable, and I have noticed that my sense of taste and smell have improved.

Kind regards,

Bill
