I am very curious if you get flushes and what you think of them

Lol!!!...something to look forward to!!!!

Good luck, Fingers. I think that cysteine might make my DMF experience a little easier by taking about a gram twice a day. I am due for a dose of DMF tomorrow, so I hope it works.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi everyone!!.. Well I haven't posted for a while! I was hoping to be able to put a picture up clear!!!!....but alas no,
The fumaderm has made a slight improvement ....but after this long it's not enough to continue on it!!...sooo my favourite Dermatologist is putting me on Otezla!!!...the pharmacy doesn't get it in until Monday so I am on a weeks break from all medication.
I hope I can keep you all informed of any progress on Otezla as I know not many members have used it!!!! I think my Psoriasis is determined to stay!!!.....so I am back at the start........like snakes and ladders!! :-)

Yep snakes and ladders sums it up well.

But don't give up hope it can take a while to get something that works for you, but even then it can fail at any time.

Otezla has had mixed results, but let's hope it helps.

Don't hesitate to start a new thread. I just noticed this one says Acitretin but you are talking about Fumaderm  

Good luck with your new journey.

We all keep searching mate, been doing it for about 35 years and still not 100% sure I have it sussed. I'm the best now that I have ever been so there is hope, but I know it can bite back any time and I'm always looking to what to try next.

You're welcome to start as many threads as you like and you don't have to keep to this one. Maybe start a new one and put a link to it from here. But it's not obligatory and it's your choice. (Well unless someone volunteers to come around and give you a good beating)

Hi fingers nice to see you again, shame about the Fumaderm I had high hopes for that to do the trick for you . But you gave it a fair go you started at the end of October and I'm assuming you went right up to six a day with the tablets. And it had made a slight improvement ... Do you mind me asking how long you have been on the full dose?
It's known to take a while to get going and I wish I could remember how long it was before I got clearance. Others on here have taken a while to clear,

I wish you luck with otezla and like Fred I hope it will work well for you .
And please do keep us posted as you say we haven't got many on otezla here and your experience could help others
