Fumaderm side effects - my worst case senario

[Caroline]

Exactly what I wanted to hear, thanks!

I am definately going to take them, they are currently sat in my cupboard waiting until Saturday. I don't want to take them this week as I'm in meetings around the county this week and don't want to have to worry about flushes, cramps and sudden 'toilet cravings' if you know what I mean

It's typical of how my brain works though, I see a rare side effect and immediately think that I will get it, that I will be the million to one person that it happens to. I assume no one on the forum has heard of anyone having this with it being so rare?

Hi OneBigItch,

I am totally agreeing with Jim and Fred, you are being very silly.  
I have been on DMF, not Fumaderm, but the Dutch version for more than 10 years,  no problem at all.
Just keep being monitored. The guidelines in the Netherlands have been made stronger on the point of monitoring, with EU minimal suggestions on the minimum of lymphocytes, and I thought a 3 month interval on monitoring.
This change of the guidelines is the result of a few PML cases on many thousands of psoriasis patients, it's a bit overrated reaction but it's not bad as the new guideline now in fact makes use of DMF easier and even more safe to prescribe by dermatologists.

Sorry about the workings of your brain.... hihi. It happens to the best, that is clear.  

Your assumption that no one on the forum has heard of anyone is not true. I know who the only person in the Netherlands is who got PML after no good monitoring of the blood values. Sorry.
