Hello from wooleyb

You could mention to the dermatologist the drug I'm on Fumaderm ....it's a brilliant drug if you can tolerate it and if they will prescribe it  see Jims continued use of Fumaderm

Thanks Jim, had a read through your thread and it certainly seems a option, really pleased that it has worked for you.  I am due to see a consultant in September mid way through PUVA so will ask the question then, test the water so to speak, see what he says!!!  At least I will know one way or the other I guess if they are willing to prescribe it....

They seem reluctant as it's not a licences drug .....but it can be prescribed by hospitals ....it's the drug that gave me my life back ....it's not easy at the start ....but generally if you get side effects they pass after a month or so ....and then just enjoy the odd flush ....it's not a poison and if monitored will not do damage to your organs .....I feel safer on this than Methotrexate ...and have great confidence it it as a long term treatment
