I'm recently turned 18, from Ireland, diagnosed in 2007 with psoriasis.
I have, like most, tired various treatments for psoriasis none of which have helped.
The last treatment I tried was another round of light therapy (3rd round) that was a year ago.Safe to say the light therapy didn't work.
After waiting months (7 to be precicise) to see my derm again my psoriasis has slowly but surely managed to spread to even more. My psoriasis is now covering every inch of my body.
The only good thing about that is my derm now thinks my psoriasis is "serious" enough to try other treatments.
I'm going to start fumaderm in the coming weeks. This site has been great for finding information on it.
So thanks to the members who are using this drug for updating about their progress with it. It's truly helpful for others!
Have a good one
Hi Eatingporridge

It's a shame you have suffered all your young life with this awful disease, but at last you have found a site where you can come and feel comfortable in your skin .... No mater how flakey it is

Fumaderm is a great drug and ok I'm a wee bit older than you but I have suffered since I was a teenager, but back in my day there weren't the treatments there are now. And until three and a half years ago I had a constant battle trying to control it ( usually unsuccessfully ) but now thanks to Fumaderm I am relatively clear and hope to stay that way.
Come back often and let us know how it works for you, we are here if you need any advice just shout .
We now have several younger members who will no doubt be introducing themselves in the coming days
Thanks for joining I'm sure you will benefit from belonging .... I know I do
