[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Beverley]

Thanks for the nudge Caroline

Tummy seemed to be settling down until a couple of days ago. Felt really poorly yesterday and the toilet was my new best friend.

Not sure how it's working on my P yet. Was totally clear while taking ciclo. P has returned on my elbows, top of feet, hands, nails scalp and a wee bit on my face. Saw derm last Monday and he gave me Topicorte lotion for scalp, nails and face. Have to say, this has worked really well in less than a week. Patch on my face has gone and scalp and nails are a lot less. Can dye my hair again soon before too much grey shows. Important factor for me.

Seem to be getting flushes. Not sure if that is due to fumeraat or the ciclo was stopping them.

Playing about with foods at the mo. Pretty sure white bread causes stomach upset. Suspicious with chocolate. When taking MTX even a small amount of chocolate upset my stomach. No more visits to the chocolate factory for me.

Also think that taking them on an empty stomach is really bad. So now making sure I take them with food even if I'm not hungry.

Give me a kick up the butt when you want an update Caroline....lol
