Hi Nick.
What are your chances of getting Cosentyx? It seems to be very effective. I am off DMF for a bit as my lymphocyte count dropped. I suspect that DMF sensitizes lymphocytes to sunlight, so I will cover up from now on. You might think sunlight a good way to control psoriasis with a reduced DMF dosage, and you would be right. The only trouble with that is that the sunlight doesn't get to the lymphocytes in the joints. This raises the idea of targeting affected joints with DMF and low dose radiation therapy.
Anyway, I hope you are getting useful treatment. Untreated disease can send you on a lot of tangents.
Cheers,
Bill
