Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

A further update. I have started using a topical treatment twice daily as well as the DMF. It has been remarkably effective and my pasi is now around 0.3. A diy white cell count last week gave a result of 6700 (+/-700) per mm^3 wbc and 1800 (+/-200) per mm^3 for lymphocytes. I feel well and have not had a cold for over six months. The higher and less frequent doses appear to control the disease without substantially reducing the white cell count. With the success of the topical I thought I might try a 1000 mg dose. I did this twice, a week apart. On each occasion the gi symptoms were worse and I had a headache for several hours the next day. So although I found it controlled my arthritis better, I will be sticking with 800 mg doses three times weekly. I remain confident of further improvement.

Cheers,

Bill
