Hello All .... fellow psoriasis sufferer here … have had it since a teenager – now late forties and it has decided to go crazy  ……..got pityriasis rosea in April which really assisted in kicking things south …

Hello afternoonfix Welcome to Psoriasis Club.

We have a few members on Skilarence or it's form and I'm sure the DMF gang will offer more information soon.

If you do want try something naturel you could try here: Natural Treatments For Psoriasis

Regards.

Fred.

Welcome!

As Fred has already mentioned, there's quite a few here that use DMF and some specifically use Skilarence. I'm not one of them but it seems to work very well.

You can put Skilarence in a search to find more information and Fred's already linked you to the natural treatments if you wanted to try that route.

Best of luck and this is a good place to ask questions if you have any.

Hi afternoonfix  Welcome to the forum
I'm one of the members on skilarence and I can understand your apprehension, but I will say that Fumaderm which is much the same active drug as skilarence (DMF) and it has given me 7 years clear after struggling all my adult life with psoriasis it did genuinely give me my life back

I'm not going to lie and say it was easy when I started on it as I suffered bad abdominal cramp a few hours after taking them and hot flushes . But I stuck it out and they got less and less and my skin began to clear.

I now have virtually no side effects and life is good

If you do get it come and talk if you get side effects, not everyone does but it's worth trying to stick with it as it might give you long term clearance like me

Enjoy your time here and ask questions we are all happy to answer and if you're at a loose end come and join in the fun in the off topic section
Good luck
Jim

Hi Afternoonmix and a warm welcome to our forum Wave .

Pleasure to met you and hope you can hang around. Please holler out if you need any questions answering, I'm not on Skilarence but I am targeting aggressively when the Cyclosporine fails (and it it will Confused ).

If you get bored there is generally somebody lurking in the shadows, so try the Huggamug coffee shop or the bar.

Jim's not said yet but if you want to be kept updated you can sign up for the Monthly newsletter, its always an entertaining read even if Fred's music quiz does show us how little we know of our music Big Grin
