Hello all
I have suffered with psoriasis for 22 years now and after trying all steroid treatment, UV treatment, tar treatment and Methotrexate I have now been given Fumaderm to try. I am on the initial pack and concerned about the side effects it might cause. I have a friend who has been on it for 2 years and doesn't have any psoriasis now, and she looks fab for it, but just wanted to get other opinions.

Oooohhh Cheryl first off a big to the forum. You are at the right place for positive talk about Fumaderm there are several of us on Fumaderm now and others on other forms of DMF look at my intro Introduction Jiml I have been on it now for nearly 3 years ( I had to think because I've been saying 2 years since I joined here a year ago.)
If it works Cheryl and you can tolerate it it will make your self confidence grow and give you your life back
Side effects for me weren't pleasant but better than methotrexate which I hated....

You can expect some stomach cramps... To avoid them flush your tablets down with a meal and plenty of fluid
The other thing is flushes you will probably get them they start at your head and work down your body.... Not unpleasant but can look a bit silly when you are out and glowing red.
The side effects will get less as your body gets used to Fumaderm

The side effects are far better than psoriasis I will argue with anyone who try's to get me off them
Keep coming back and giving us updates it is early for you yet
I hope it works out
Jim
