Hi Looby thanks for coming back.
I'm no expert but I can tell you that Fumaderm is not a quick fix, in your last post you say you started on the tablets on the 1April this year so you are probably on the low strength Fumaderm initial.? I would think you are started on low doses to let your body adjust to the drug..
When you go on to full strength Fumaderm 120 mg they will probably have you on one morning and one evening. For a couple of weeks. You should begin then to see slight improvement the dose will be increased to whatever the dermatologist thinks fit.
With me at this time my plaques started to subside and then got steadily better
I think if you can stick with it. It should work . I really hope it does. Because it is so liberating to feel "normal"
Why did you come off methotrexate, had it stopped working ?
In my humble opinion I think you should persevere.......... I am hopeful you won't regret it.....
You have been on it less than a month and it is a slow working drug
