Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

Well, I thought I might make taking DMF a little easier by mixing it first with l-cycteine in the hope that the result would be something more palatable. No such luck, but I have another idea. While I think a cysteine DMF conjugate is an idea worth investigating, it is a job for an industrial chemist, not me. Instead, I will try freezing the DMF in an ice cube. A lump of ice should be much easier to swallow and should disperse quickly in the stomach. I am now on a single dose of DMF weekly (810 mg) and daily doses of l-cysteine (~1.3 grams). I do get a little arthritis returning on the last couple of days, but the disease is almost gone and slowly reducing: So for this reason, the side effects and the risk of dropping my lymphocyte count I have no interest in taking DMF more often. The other advantage is that my DMF supply will last for over ten years, so it is a very safe and effective treatment for less than $8 US per year. I just wish it was a little more fun.

Cheers,

Bill
