New to the game but not to P

Thanks all.

Bloods are being monitored by my derm on a monthly basis. Hopefully all goes well on that front!

How long have people been on Fumaderm then? 
How long did it take for you to get clear on it?
What do people find the best moisturiser?

I notice that coffee and pork tends to make my P worst, particularly coffee! 

Sorry for all the questions, ha...

keep the questions coming  

Glad to see you are being monitored monthly that is in my opinion is very important, I have my bloods monitored monthly as well and record on here the levels so I can see if there is a trend either up or down to enable me to adjust the dose if the lymphocyte count drops below the normal readings .

I have been on Fumaderm for over 4 years now and have been relatively clear most of that time.....
I'm on 4 X 120ml Fumaderm tablets a day, I went through the normal  build up procedure with the tablets up to 6 a day....then levelled off for a while before starting to reduce the dose to see how low I could go without the psoriasis starting to return.....
I got down to three tablets and psoriasis started to reappear .....so upped to four a day and have stuck on four

Reducing if the blood levels dropped too low and when they recover up the dose again

I wasn't on the forum when I started on Fumaderm and didn't used to record things so I'm guessing really when I say I think I had reached maximum dose before my skin fully cleared .....I remember it was slow .

But we are all different and some take a long while to clear and others Clear before reaching the maximum dose

As far as a moisturiser, I go with good quality virgin coconut oil ( Fred got me started on that and it's very good and easily absorbed without being messy

I haven't noticed any food or drink making a difference to my psoriasis, I eat and drink anything I like
