About to start Fumaderm

[Fred]

So just thought I'd pop in with what will probably be my final update on Skilarence. Been on it for 3 months now and have been on the maximum dose for 5 weeks and there hasn't been any improvement, not even slightly. So Fumaderm unfortunately hasn't worked for me. I guess not having any side effects whatsoever turned out to be a bad thing and was a sign it wasn't being absorbed by my body in the best way for it to work?

Anyway, can't pretend I'm not gutted cause it definitely seems like the best drug for psoriasis around if it works but got to keep positive. Got my next dermatology appointment on the 17th and think I'll need to try one more drug at this tier before I'm considered for a biologic. Think I'll give cyclosporine a go as the results seem good even if it isn't a drug you can be on too long. But perhaps by the time it comes to stop taking it there will be something new on the market I can try.

That's a shame, but it just goes to show how difficult it is to find the right treatment for each person.

As for DMF (Fumaderm / Skilarence) being the "best for psoriasis". My opinion is there is No best. Some like me will say Bio's are the best, and some will say diet is the best. It's all about finding what works for us as individuals as there is no one suit fits all as far as psoriasis is concerned.

Good luck with your next try, and don't hesitate to start a new thread about your new journey if you wish.
