Jims continued use of Fumaderm

[Bill]

Jim, I fully understand why you do what you do. In any event the UK is probably still subject to the EU DMF ban. My choice rests with the reality that in Australia I need to try and fail three of four treatment options before I could access biological treatments. Light therapy is not an option with my fair skin. This means that I would need to try and fail methotrexate, cyclosporin, and acitretin. The conditions of failure mean that I would have to endure an out of control and untreated disease for at least six months. Contrast this with obtaining a supply of DMF within a couple of weeks, reducing my disease by 90% within about four weeks after commencing treatment and going as well as ever after over five years. I do use the health system for blood testing.

Cheers
