High dose of Fumaderm

[Closed account 1259]

Thanks I will ask for this information but it was ok on the last blood test but I would like to see the figures because can then at least know if it is stable or going down. I also have only one more piece of paperwork to have the blood test carried out so need to sort something out - hope the next appointment comes through and then maybe we can go back to monthly tests.
Re the tummy problems, he is having some very bad tummy pains and constipation and diahorria. But his diet is appalling frankly - getting him to eat is a nightmare and it could well be this and the iron that is the cause. He has so many co morbidities that I frankly do not think it is the Fumaderm but of course, cannot be sure, which is why I would like him on the lowest dose possible to control things....
Yes I do struggle with the NHS although the Geriatric consultant is trying to get the GP, Urologist and the Dermo to talk to one another and he is at least overseeing the tablets - he has taken Eric off the blood pressure ones. He did try with the irritable bladder ones but he had to go back on those!
Thanks for listening - I know you may well have gone through or be going through similar frustrations. Eric is not an easy patient and I often find pills left in his pill box, although I do try to remind him to take them!
