Fumaderm - questions.

[Angie]

Just back from derm.

Long story short, she says my body is not liking Fumaderm , according to bloods and side effects continuing.

She knows I have never been keen to try the biologics ( though wasn't keen on systemics either, now had them all) , she has suggested Apremilast, which have just been given the go ahead (or any day now) by the S.M.C.  I have heard of them but not looked closely. She says they work in a completely  different way from everything else I have tried and it's still a tablet . Apparently they are the same cost as Fumaderm.

Had a quick read earlier and the common side effects are sickness and the dreaded D! Well I'm an expert in them so hopefully it will subside with use.  She also did point out , as I was leaving that if I had went the injection route, I would be clear by now.

I will do  my homework and try to find info on here, not sure how long they have been used in America?

I've to continue on the reduced dose of 3 a day and return to her in 4 weeks when it should be in place .

I would very much appreciate any info if anyone has any.

Thanks

Angie
