I have been trying topicals (tar based) as well as DMF and together they seem to be eliminating the last of my plaques, though it will be a few weeks yet before I can be sure. Like Fred and Caroline, I get no thrills from my medication, although its efficacy has exceeded my expectations. As far as cell counts go, did your dermatologist suggest a critical value?
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply Bill. At the moment I am not using anything apart from Fumaderm and I am hopeful that the psoriasis will stay away, and the count will come back up.
The dermatologist said she would take me off complexly if my lymphocytes went under 0.5
Which I had to agree I would rather have the psoriasis back than the alternative (whatever that is)
I like you am amazed at how good DMF has been at clearing my skin I now don't even have discoloured marks where the scaling used to be. I would say that my skin is clearer now than it has ever been before in my adult life
