I've been reading on here for sometime and thanks to the input of the outcome with Fumaderm , I am quite prepared to crawl about the place if need be for good results and the fact most say the side effects will subside.

The literature I have with the tabs do not give me an indication of when an improvement should be seen. Having asked my derm she says give them 3 months. Now I'm in 9 weeks, although only 2 days on maximum dose , I'm hoping something happens soon, would hate to think I'm going through this for nothing .

Hi Angie I have checked the info I gave youand here is an except from the NHS  document on the efficacy of fumaderm

Summary
♦ Fumaderm® (fumaric acid esters) tablets are licensed in Germany for treating adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for whom topical therapy is ineffective. Although unlicensed in the UK, Fumaderm® is used by specialist dermatology centres.
♦ Limited evidence, including only two randomised controlled trials, indicates that Fumaderm® is beneficial in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis; at least 50% of patients treated with Fumaderm® have a reduction of about 70% or more in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score after 16 weeks of treatment. Patients with recalcitrant disease are less likely to achieve significant improvement, but many can stop, or reduce the dose of, concomitant systemic anti-psoriasis agents. There are insufficient data to recommend Fumaderm® for mild psoriasis.
