Had to look that up

Been to see the Dermatologist at the hospital today he was delighted with the way Fumaderm is still working so well for me...he's looking forward to the time that it gets approval from NICE  to enable him to prescribe it more freely instead of having to fill request forms and  prove the case for prescribing it each time ( that's why it's  so much easier for dermatologists to prescribe off the licences list even though it may cost 10 times more and be possibly less effective )
Anyway my lymphocytes are up a bit from earlier this month to 1.19
Everything else is good liver and kidney functions are good.
The sun on my skin may encourage me to try to reduce the dose from 5 tablets a day to 4 and see if I still stay clear and the arthritis doesn't kick in again

Great to hear you're still doing well on it Jim , long may it continue.

Enjoy the sun

Thanks Dave, I have a lot of confidence in fumaderm and hopefully it will keep working for many more years

I am still keeping clear on my Fumaderm tablets, although I haven't had the courage to reduce the dose to 4 tablets yet, but I am enjoying the sun and lots of time at the beach swimming and absorbing the salt and sun

The only problem which is not a worry but others have mentioned is the white spots left on my legs which become more visible the more tanned I get ....people have asked here if they go back to normal skin but for me the answer is no...each year as my legs tan the spots stay white while the rest tans

Yes I have some white patches and some light pink ones that have never reverted back to normal skin, but I only get sun on my arms and I've never had much psoriasis there in the past.

I live in my shorts in the summer and get a lot of sun on my legs and arms but my arms aren't as bad the lighter patches are less noticeable ......they do not bother me I just wanted to record them ...I would rather have the white spots than psoriasis any day
