Starting Skilarence.

[Turnedlight]

Hi mr gnomusy! Nice to meet you

[MrGnomusy]

Hi guys, sorry for the late update. Yes Caroline it was my intestines was growling in the beginning. Not so much anymore tho. But I've moved up to the big boy tables yesterday. 120mg at 19:00 and woke up this morning at 03:30 with my head on fire,   like OneBigItch described last year in his post. (I've read the whole thread) 


I pretty much sailed through the initial build up period tho, a little flushing and bubbley belly, nothing to serious tho. 
My psoriasis has starting flaring up a bit these past few weeks but I'm optimistic, and hesitantly looking forward to the nightly flushes as I'm certain it's just a telltale sign that the Skilarence is doing its thing.
Not sure I want to bump up the dose to 240 until the (burning my head and neck off) flushing starts to subside a bit. 

Thanks for the helpful tips and supportive comments everyone!
Happy new year to you all, and especially the Psoriasisclub members and the staff!

Are you taking your Skilarence with a meal and plenty of fluid ...you could try taking it early in the evening

With my Fumaderm I take it with my breakfast and lots of coffee ....the evening tablets I take with my meal and again lots of fluid .......the side effects should subside when your body gets used to the drug .....it should be easier the longer you are in it ....I barely notice the odd flush now......you stick with it ....if it work it can give long term relief, on Fumaderm I've been clear for 6 years now  

I've not worked out a schedule for when I take it yet. But yeah, if I haven't eaten it a while I will make sure to do so. Thanks! (From a fellow avid coffee drinker!)

One thing I did notice when I started Fumaderm was that the flushes and cramps didn’t increase as I increased the dose.... they were consistently bad whatever the dose, but I can understand your reluctance to increase for fear of even worse side effect. But my personal experience didn’t show that  

Happy and healthy flake free new year to you and your family

hihi.
Yes, I recognize the flushes. Did you already get them over your whole body? For me it started at the top of my head and than slowly went downwards, even sometimes that I was red over my whole body.
But remember, the flushing is only a minor innocent side effect. The bubbley belly is an inconvenient side effect, also innocent. The lymphocyte count is the most important one. By the way, a lot of immune system inhibitors have the effect of lowering the lymphocyte count.

No, it hasn't effected any other part of my body just yet. Maby because I don't have as high a concentration of spots on my body as I do around my face and scalp. My gutate is well spread out, and not as big of a (prick) as it could be... I do feel a tingling sensation in my arms and legs for a while when the burning subsidies tho. 

By the way, are fumaderm also blue round tables? Is the blue coating just for good looks or doubles it as a gastric acid resistant compound? I do tend to think out loud a lot... lol

I think it aims at some kind of placebo effect for something ..
