Back on Fumaderm

[jiml]

Ok I've found instructions in English.
Looking at these I'll go with the doctors recommendations I think.

I can't remember if you mentions before how long you had been off the fumaderm but I agree with some caution.
Did you have your blood monitored before starting if not I would get your GP to check them

I think it's  a good idea sticking with the doctors regimen , but I'm glad you are at least back on it again and hopefully you will get back to a controlling dose soon, and get back to a clear skin

I'm glad you have read the leaflet

Oh there's more info I  the link you have supplied. I'll take a proper look later, Thanks.
Yes I went and had a blood test before taking fumaderm.
I'm on holiday from the 4th August and desperately hoping for some improvement before then.

Good luck depending on how covered you are there is a good chance you could be clearing by then, with a little help from the natural sunshine ( but don't overdo it) and it's an accepted practice to use calcipotriol cream to help get clearance whilst on Fumaderm
I will try to find the link for you

Thanks Jim. I've ordered some dovonex as the exorex isn't really doing anything apart from drying my skin out severely.
Currently in week two and taking 1x blue tablet a day. Only getting the occasional flush and upset stomach.
Psoriasis still at full steam ahead and breaking out everywhere?
Hoping I start to see some improvement soon and as I'm tolerating it ok I'm thinking of asking if I can take 2 X blue a day to try and clear it a bit quicker. Hoping I'm not starting to run before I can walk.

Great stuff hopefully you will start to see an improvement soon, but you are a long way from the maximum dose and at only week 2 ....I know you haven't started with the initial tablets because of funding so you will need to take care with the build up as your system has to adapt to the drug, but you seem to be tolerating it well, with just minor side effects...

What has your dermatologist said about increasing the dose ? Will you increase to 2 tablets at the end  of the next week and then increase in line with the recommendations on the leaflet,in my opinion that would be sensible

But as I said earlier it's not a fast working drug but it is extremely effective and hopefully should see some clearance before your holiday
