Skilarence part 2

[OneBigItch]

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I last posted.

So I've been trying to dodge covid while slowly getting covered in psoriasis. My derm convinced me to hold off going on to any meds while covid was in full swing and over the last year or so im now at a point where I have no choice. 

I was previously on Fumaderm which was a miracle drug for me where I got full clearance on just 1 full strength tablet. I then got moved to skillerence but I  had very bad stomach pains and ended up stopping them.

So a year later im in need of more meds and for my sins I asked to try skillerence again. I got on so well with Fumaderm I want to give it another go. 

So I'm now on 3 initial tablets a day and although I've had stomach pains im determined to see it through. 

Second time lucky? Fingers crossed.

Good luck OBI, jim got through and has very good results on Skilarence and no problems anymore. I myself am doing fine on the alike version that I have over here.

Great to hear you're giving it another go and with the slow build up should be good.
I hope you get the same clearance you did on Fumaderm as I did well on both and transitioned without a problem
Are you taking with meals and plenty of fluid?
Also yogurt is supposed to line the stomach so you don't get the cramps or pains..... But if you can stick with it the side effects are short lived and do subside as your body gets used to it, and when you get clearance it should give long term clearance for me it's over 8 years
I'll keep my fingers crossed and look forward to your updates

Thanks guys, I'll keep you updated. 

Got my appt with my derm on 29th June so fingers crossed its all good.  We have a two day trip to London in a few weeks which I'm very nervous about, but I'm hoping I'll be ok.

Quick update...

I'm currently on 3 initial tablets a day and really feeling the intestinal cramps. I can handle them throughout the day but it's the one I always get at around 3am that's really getting me down. 

Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce them? I've tried them with lots of food and water but I still get cramps regardless.

One of the DMF/Fumaderm/Skilarance people would be better to answer as I have no experience on it, but since it's bedtime for most of them, thought I'd answer.

It seems that past responses have ranged from reducing the dosage or toughing it out as the first couple of weeks are the worst and then side effects become rare (From what I remember reading from the gang here!)

You have your appointment tomorrow, right? Perhaps ask the doctor about the dosage and see if he can make it more manageable?

Good luck!

Yes the DMF gang will know more and I'm surprised none have seen your post.

I remember some of them saying yoghurt helps.
