Jims continued use of Fumaderm

7 June 2019

Been a while since I updated  and a few things have happened My psoriasis was under control apart from a tiny bit in my scalp, and the psoriatic arthritis was barely noticeable.  I had a blood test a month ago and everything was ok.  apart from a lowering of my lymphocytes from 1.21 to 0.83  so I took the decision to reduce my fumaderm tablets from 5 a day  to 4x120mg tablets a day
This has had the effect of causing the psoriatic arthritis to flare a bit causing more painful finger joints and being woken with painful shoulders  but the reduction of the tablets allowed the lymphocyte count to get back to 1.11 so was worth it .  So in view of the arthritic pain I'm experiencing now  today I have increased the dose back to 5 tablets a day

Hopefully it will get back on track and reduce the arthritic discomfort and clear the little bit of psoriasis that is still annoying me in my scalp behind my right ear

Hopefully I'll update in the next month to see if the lymphocytes stay within the normal range and see if the arthritis and psoriasis is back under control
