Fumaderm advice wanted

[jiml]

If it were me Kath. I would ask for the new blood results and if the level hasn't raised a bit I would be inclined to follow the advice of the manufacturers and stop taking them while you are away, and have another blood test when you come back 1.7 is very low . This is just my opinion and if you look at the fumaderm leaflet the advise on there is to stop .... You are now going to be flying on a long haul flight and breathing everyone else's air and with low wbc you are more vulnerable to an opportunistic infection striking you ... I'm not trying to frighten you just telling what I would be doing
the very least you should do is half your dose . Again I'm not a doctor but it's my opinion stopping it for a week and a half is not the end of the world and you can pick up on a lower dose when you return

Thanks Jim!
You have voiced my concerns exactly....I always get sick after long haul flights so the idea of coming down with something, especially whilst I'm away is a bit of a worry....and I always seem to get sat next to the one I'll person who doesn't cover their mouth when they sneeze haha!
I think I'll try to get an emergency appt with my Derm on Friday to discuss today's results (i am extremely fortunate in that my Derm also happens to locum at my GP surgery two days a week).

Thanks so much everyone, it's so reassuring to have such a lovely bunch of people around on here  

You are welcome I could not advise anything differently if I were giving myself the advice
I hope your results are good and you can continue but if not .... Err on the side of caution
