[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Bill]

No reason to worry. Instead, you should feel reassured. Taking an 800 mg dose without harm over a long period should make you feel safer taking 240 mg. And although 800 mg is a large dose, as I only take it twice a week I am taking less than a third the weekly quantity of someone on the maximum Fumaderm dose. Further, the DMF I take contains no mono-ethyl fumarate, which is toxic and has no efficacy. The large dose I take has been worked up to slowly and I have found it to have a greater efftcacy against both my P and PSA. I dont take it for fun. I am currently trying to reduce the gastric upset after doses. Taking a couple of grams of cysteine dissolved in fruit juice about half an hour prior to taking DMF has greatly mitigated the side effects, but whether it will do so consistently I do not know.
