The flushes must be from the Fumaderm, it is well known with the use of DMF.

Thanks Caroline I didn't know you were a pastafarian

Well I am not specifically a pastafarian, but if I pray the FSM has the best chances.

Whoopee it seems good news on my prostate cancer, I am told my " prostate specific antigen" PSA readings were too low to measure. So for the time being I am in the clear, but like psoriasis not cured.
My psoriasis has behaved itself throughout the last horrendous six months of treatment and not knowing if it was working. I have had a couple of minor flare ups where my psoriasis score has gone up to 10, I am sure it was caused by all the stress but it's down now to 2 which is barely noticeable. I have a stubborn spot on my left arm about 10mm across and I can feel a couple of scales on my scalp. But no snowstorm or even light dandruff.
Well today my oncologist told me I was where he wanted me to be, and just 6 monthly blood tests to make sure it doesn't reappear.

So it's cakes and drinks on me later in off topic after I have eaten

Mmm, what would I like to drink... I think I would go for a white wine, dry please.

Had a letter today saying full blood count down to 0.76 where normal is between 1 and 3
Talking of reducing Fumaderm, if bloods go any lower.
They must consider radiotherapy can also have the same effect so I may have an argument.
Dermatologists appointment at hospital Friday will update post after visit

Thanks well there's a chance I can argue my way through, it's my usual style. I want to wait a bit longer and see if they come back up, when the effects of the radiotherapy have gone away
