Hi guys, thought I'd give you all an update.
I've been on 6 fumaderm tablets a day for several months and had total clearance. I went to my derm a few week ago where she checked my bloods and asked about my clearance.
I managed to see my lymphocyte count on the screen and could see that 6 months ago it was about 1.7 and has slowly decreased to 1.1 now. She wasn't concerned about the number so I didn't ask any questions about it.
As my skin was still great so she said we should try to drop down to 4 initial tablets a day to see what the minimum is we can get away with before it starts to come back.
I've been on 4 a day for a few weeks now and although my skin is clear, I've noticed my head is itching in the same place I used to get psoriasis. I've also discovered a single red psoriasis spot on my calf. I'll keep going on 4 a day and see how it goes and hope my bloods stay in the safe zone.
I still love this medication tho, it's a wonder drug compared to Acitretin which was a poison for me.
