Marco's Skilarence thread

[sunnyman]

Hello everybody !

This morning i've started the week 6 ( 120 mg x 3 ).
Last week after an episode of "big stress" , i saw some new little sposts on the upper side of the legs.
These spots came but are not growing up. I was worried for that.
No itching anyway.Yes , this drug works slowly , i see it on myself but i trust
I dont have side effects , maybe a light flushing but not remarkable. I feel in a good shape.
We will see....

Fingers crossed !!!!

Good to hear you are not getting any side effects, it's one of the things most people worry about when starting a new treatment so your feedback will maybe encourage others to try Skilarence.

Also good to here it didn't go to far after a stressful moment as stress is a big player where psoriasis is concerned.

Long may it continue Marco and thank for updating.

Good luck, Marco. You will be on a full dose in three weeks so I'd guess you wont be waiting much longer.

Cheers

Great to read Marco  pleased you aren't getting any side effects except a bit of flushing
For me my transition to Skilarence has been uneventful with no side effects to speak of either I'm sure you will start to see real benefits when you get up to full dose
I will keep watching your progress

Hello all !

This morning i woke up with big itch on the chest , neck , shoulders and the skin was red in some parts. About 1 hour.
Terrible feeling !
It's a itch like "urticaria" , i ask to myself what could i use to calm it down.
Should i consider it the first big "side effect" ?
Please ,  should i use any cream ? Antihistamine ?

Today i start the week 7 with 4 pills.
No improvement from last week.

Thanks

This is called a flush.
You become all red, starting from the top of your head, the feeling is a tintling, itchy sensation like if piles of little needles are stuck into your skin.
You cannot calm it down, just go through it.
For me it is very doable, indeed it takes between half and one hour. It should not really be painful.

It is the most feelable, but harmless side effect. The other two side effects, intestinal cramps and lowering lymphocytes are by far more important.

But.... the flush is a signal that the drug is working.

[sunnyman]

Thanks for your fast response.
I was thinking that "flushing" could be only hot feeling but without itch.
Now i know the feeling...
I will buy extra virgin cocomut oil , maybe may help me.
Other side effects for now i dont have.

Let's hope , finger crossed

If the flushing bothers you Marco I have heard of people taking aspirin to relieve it.

Cheers

[jiml]

Yes I agree Marco sounds like an intense flush. Stick with it as they do get easier as your body adjusts
Bill's idea of aspirin sounds good and might work
The fact you are getting them does show the tablets are beginning to work and using coconut oil is my first stop for a soothing moisturiser

Today i have started week 8 , day 50.
I'm not satisfied at all.
I would like to understand when i will see my skin without these little red spots  
From today 5x120 mg.
Problably i will need full dosage and other weeks to see results or maybe this drug does not work for me.
Normally i'm positive but today i was a little bit frustrated.

Fingers crossed
