Been a while since I updated my thread mainly because my psoriasis hadn't changed or my treatment
So my review on 2020
I've been on DMF treatment now for over 8 years with no sign of it failing
I am continuing to take five Skilarence tablets a day 3 with breakfast and 2 with my evening meal
I have blood tests every four weeks to keep an eye on my lymphocyte count as the DM F can have the effect of reducing the lymphocyte count which should be between 1 and 3 and mine tends to run at the lower end of the acceptable limits and at present runs at 1.15 but has on occasions dropped to 0.95
My psoriasis is virtually clear although I have a little behind my ears which I control with Enstilar foam
This year has been stressful with my wife's health issues and the threat of covid and living under covid restrictions and despite this my psoriasis has behaved very well
