Hey guys.
After 30+ sessions of light therapy not making a bit of difference to my skin and after not being eligible for methotrexate (didn't really fancy taking it anyway) and really not being keen on acitretin (due to reading about the side effects and how much it actually iimprovemprovrs psoriasis) my dermatologist has offered my Fumaderm. Currently waiting for it to arrive at the hospital.
Just got a couple questions for those that have been on it.
I've researched the side effects and I reckon I'll be able to stick them but I just have a question about the flushing... does the flushing occur at about the same time after taking your dosage and if so how long after is this? I work a 9 to 5 job and would rather avoid the flushing at work if possible. I imagine that's possible on the early doses but may be impossible to avoid once you're taking a few tablets a day?
