Experiences with

Dimethyl fumarate

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.

I take the following supplements daily: Thorne Basic B, Vit C, Vit D, Magnesium, Ferrous Fumarate 210mg, Probiotic (Feel). I currently take 125mcg of Levothyroxine but my GP has asked me to reduce this to 100mcg based on the NHS bloods on 1st April, despite not having the FT3 reading available.

I'm currently taking BetterYou vit D+K2 spray=3 sprays 3000IU (morning) BetterYou vit B12 spray = 4 sprays 1200ug (morning) , Ferrous Fumarate 210mg x1 tab (mid/late afternoon) (depending how I feel I take 1 or 2 tablets a day of ferrous fumarate) and Levothyroxine 75mg (before bed) I find myself making

I’m on 420mg ferrous fumarate a day which doesn’t seem to be helping. Curiously under the FBC my red blood cell distribution width is marked with ! as it’s 15% (11.0 - 14.8). No clue what this means.

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!

I had been diagnosed with anaemia (which can also be a stress trigger for AF) and was prescribed ferrous fumarate which between November 2023 and August 2024 increased my ferritin from 12 to 51.

follows: Serum iron level: 15.18 umol/L Se unsat iron binding capacity: 39.7 umol/L Serum TIBC: 55 umol/L Saturation iron binding capacity: 28 % Serum Ferritin: 136ug/L I should note that my neurologist wanted me to take this blood test whilst on my current iron supplements (100mg of ferrous fumarate

I will continue with the Ferrous Fumarate 325mg as I have learned from the Forum this is so important. If any of the dopamine receptors have been damaged in this time does it mean the iron receptors are OK.

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.

Also my ferritin earlier this year was 18 and I was put on Ferrous Fumarate for 3 months but have stopped now as GP said it was fine at 38. The Endo put me on a starter dose of Levo for 3 months back in August to see how I'd do & asked me to keep a diary as well which I've done.

Eventually I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate and in the next three years the level slowly increased to 54 in February 2019 and to 108 in January 2023. Lyme itself has never been diagnosed in various tests, including a recent one.

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

Should I reduce the ferrous fumarate now? I don’t want my levels to fall low again if I can avoid it. I also had an iron test which was 23.3 (5.8-34.5) so I’m nowhere near the top of that range.

I’ve stated taking ferrous fumarate 322mg every other day. When I told the Dr I was coming off Ropinirole she said there wasn’t much else she could give me.

My question is though, my ferritin levels were at 24 so my gp gave me ferrous fumarate 210mg for my iron levels and since taking them I have felt really nauseous, no appetite and unable to go to the toilet..Is this a normal side effect as i don't think it's the gabapentin..is there an alternative to

This was after 2 weeks of being on ferrous fumarate and it was 24!

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?
