Has anybody any helpful tips for a newbie?

I have previously addressed my use of Fumaderm with Isabelle and would like to share same with you. I have been a severe sufferer for +35 years, have done all except injection therapies. Topical's were never part of my therapy over the years because they were not effective. I had enrolled for clinical studies but was refused because my psoriasis was too severe for their consideration.
I did some research on Fumaderm, shared this with local Doctor and went through the step up program, then after a clearing of psoriasis, stepped down to a maintenance of one 120 mg tablet per day. I do not have any visible signs of psoriasis today, some telltale skin discoloration on the previously affected sites, no side effects, only excellent results. Yes, there was some heart burn, upset stomach, flushing, but tolerable in comparison to itching, flaking, soreness of psoriasis.
For me it has been an absolute miracle. Does everybody achieve the same success? Probably not, but it has worked for me, thus why I think it is worth the try, the endurance, and the reason why I want to share my experience with others. Good luck with your therapy.

Thanks for that information. I have been on the tablets for 4 weeks so for, no clearing of the skin yet but hopefully changes will happen soon! I have had stomach cramps at times, but the side affects are not that bad so for, fingers crossed they will stay ok!
