Fumaderm - questions.

[jiml]

Jim, would it have been better had I been able to get DMF prescribed here? Yes and no. In hindsight 720 mg per NO LINKS ALLOWED (2 x 360 mg) depressed my white cell count too much, and 3 x 240 mg would have caused a similar suppression and been less effective against my psoriasis. I would not have had the liberty to play around with the dosage as I have done, and I believe that the raw DMF may have advantages over the tablet form for the way I take it. As it is I am controlling my psoriasis, reducing my psoriatic arthropathy and slowly regaining flexibility and range of movement, all without the fear of a depressed white cell count.

Cheers,

Bill

I can see your point Bill and it is a good observation, but it would be better in your country if you had DMF available to all psoriasis sufferers, as not everyone can set up a home laboratory to do as you have done.

I can agree with you and the knowledge you have gained by tinkering ( no that's not the right word but you know what I mean ) with the size and frequency of the dose you have achieved a very livable regime, on a DIY basis. That has given you the same life changing  effect as I am having here in England
As I say I to you but it's not for everyone .....although I think if I were in Australia I might have followed your lead and given it a go
