Hi guys!
I've been on fumaderm for the last 2 1/2 years, on 6x120 mg a day. As the title suggest, my fumaderm treatment seems to be failing. Long story short, I reduced my dosage from 6 tablets a day to 5 for a couple of months last year. I noticed my psoriasis went from 99% to about 80%. I then increase back to 6 a day. That was over a year ago, and since then my psoriasis has only gotten worse. I would say I'm about 30% covered at the moment, and it's not getting better even with using betnovate. Fumaderm had worked really well up until I had to reduce it.
I was curious if this has happened to other people, and what treatments they went on to next? My dermatologist has suggested I go on methotrexate and have not told me of any other options. I'd rather not go in methotrexate, so would like to hear from other people what other treatments they found effective.
Thanks in advance for any advice given
