Fumaderm side effects - my worst case senario

[jiml]

Thanks Bill and Bav, everything I've heard has definately put my mind at rest, I just hope they work for me now as I had a hell of a time on Acitretin! But the bizarre thing is, although I had MANY side effects on Acitretin and it made my psoriasis MUCH worse - when I stopped the tablets, within a week all the psoriasis had all but disappeared! It stayed like that for quite a few months too!

Anyway, did any of you continue to use steriod creams while you were taking Fumaderm? My lower legs are red raw and killing me and I'm wondering whether to use a bit of cream to try and calm them down a bit.

I'm so ready to start them now - the fun starts tomorrow!

Good luck we will be here if you have any questions  

You ask about using steroid ointments with Fumaderm that's not a problem in fact there is literature that says about using calcoptriol together with fumaderm to give a faster result

Topical calcipotriol plus oral fumaric acid is more effective and faster acting than oral fumaric acid monotherapy in the treatment of severe chronic plaque psoriasis vulgaris.
