Experiences with

Dimethyl fumarate

I've had rrms diagnosed in 08. I have rls and fibromyalgia. Been on tecfidera now dimethyl fumarate.Now diagnosed with uterine cancer and had a complete hysterectomy. Anybody else dealing with all this as well?

I am currently on Dimethyl Fumarate and it helps a bit so I'm a bit more active. However, I still have a hard time getting around, and I've been sleeping 20+ hours a day for the past few months. It isn't even good sleep, very interruped.

Hello. I had half my thyroid removed several years ago and was on 50mg levo for a few years. Symptoms suggested an increase was needed and although reluctant, GP agreed. Most recent tests show TSH is now 0.96 (0.55 - 4.78) and has come back marked as “normal” but I wonder if it’s now too low. B12 is

Timings of ferrous fumarate.. Given the recommendations regarding when and when not to take this, can anyone suggest the best régime? Leaving sufficient time away from meals, and managing thyroid meds as well as various supplements seems an impossible task!

Received an email about this today: European Commission decision supports Biogen's pursuit of market exclusivity The European Commission (EC) has withdrawn its marketing authorizations for generic versions of Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate), an oral therapy approved in Europe for relapsing-remitting

Hello friends, Just wondering if I could get some feedback regarding my most recent blood tests? I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at and which are the significant numbers I'm looking at? They are as follows: Serum iron level: 15.18 umol/L Se unsat iron binding capacity: 39.7 umol/L Serum

Still on pramipexole but hopefully now not for much longer. My doctor at last agreed to send a referral to the hospital for me to see a consultant. Today I had a telephone call from the hospital to say that the consultant had spoken to my doctor (locum) and advised that I should be put back on clonazepam

Hi guys, Had a blood test at my GP after a 3 month course of 305mg Ferrous Fumarate and got results this morning Serum ferritin level: 30 ng/ml [30 - 150]; Note raised CRP. The Ferritin value may be lower than this once; the acute phase response is over.; Ferritin 15-30ug/L may suggest depletion of

Hi everyone, Firstly I'd just ike to say how great you all are with the info, help & support you provide on this site. I've always been someone who likes to know everything I can about a condition and to make sure I do all I can to help myself when I'm faced with anything new health wise whether it

This is my first post in this part of Health Unlocked after 15 months in the British Heart Foundation section. In 2014, I had a nasty insect bite when working next to our Atomic Weapons Establishment (!). This was more a chew than a tick bite but I had symptoms similar to Lyme Disease (exhaustion,

Hello everyone I have just had a ferritin blood test and been a bit blown away by the result. It was a staggering 155 with a range of 13-150. I haven’t achieved such giddy heights since childhood. It means that the ferrous fumarate is working. Sadly my hair is still falling out, so it can’t be the ferritin

Hello again. I’ve taken my last Ropinirole after warning off just 1 mg. Augmentation has gone in the day but OMG my legs are so bad in the night. Dr gave me 15mg codeine, I took 2 at 12.45am. Think I slept for 90 minutes. Had to take 2 co-codamol at 5am but never helped. I’ve stated taking ferrous fumarate

Hi there, so I've been on gabapentin for nearly 5 weeks, now 500mg..haven't noticed a great deal of difference, maybe not as restless but still not sleeping great..hope they start to work soon.. My question is though, my ferritin levels were at 24 so my gp gave me ferrous fumarate 210mg for my iron levels

Blood results from the local NHS neurologist say: “Iron level 22 falls within normal range” Is this ferritin?! This was after 2 weeks of being on ferrous fumarate and it was 24! 🙄🙄🙄 I know the levels should be over 100 at least as per Mayo. 😡 Transferrin Saturations 26% Transferrin level 3.4

In May of this year my Ferritin level was 11 (range 15-200) and I was given Ferrous Fumarate and told to have bloods done again in a few months. My recent results were 19. I know Ferritin levels are notoriously slow to rise but I was surprised at the very slow progress....Does this seem right?

Saw the local consultant here in Aberdeen (not a RLS specialist) had a thick pile of paperwork, journals etc to give him. However, these were not needed (yet!) I gave him my last week symptom severity scale and monitor (from RLS-UK.ORG) which he will scan into my notes and encouraged me to bring new

Hi!Can anyone shed any light on these please? May well be being v dim, but I think Ferritin should be higher...what does just out of range Transferrin mean please? CRP is less than 4. On GP's advice I've been taking ferrous fumarate for 3 months - ferritin was 7 in May, so at least that's improving..
