I think Skilarence has stopped working

[Caroline]

I have been taking Skilarence for well over a year and with some success. It has never fully disappeared but has certainly helped. Recently my skin has had a bad flare up and I’m wondering if Skilarence has stopped working? Is this a thing? Can it stop working after a time? If yes then what might be my new options?

I am from the DMF gang.
It is unlikely that Skilarence has stopped working. It is more logical that you are experiencing a serious flare up that instabilizes the treatment.
DMF is not like biologicals, where you can build up antibodies, indeed it can be that it stops working, but as I said, it is unlikely. It may be that for a short period you may need some more, Jims also knows about that.

What is your current dose?
How is the state of your lymphocites and eosinofilen? Those two are very important in measuring how the treatment works.
Do you still get the flushes some times?

Like to hear from you

Cheers,
Caroline.
