Hi Jean and a warm welcome 
to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that psoriasis is getting worse for you , but pleased to hear that you will be starting Skilarence.
First I'll give you the good news .... I've been on DMF in the form of Fumaderm and now Skilarence for nearly nine years and have been clear and able to live a normal life without the embarrassment of flaking everywhere and trying to hide the patches .
I now suffer no side effects apart from an occasional flush
The maybe bad news is it's not fast working (but it will work given a chance )
You may experience abdominal pain on and off as your body tries to adjust to the drug. For me it was quite intense but never lasting for too long. I've since learned a few ways I could have eased that .
You may also experience flushes that make you feel hot from head to toe ...this is a good sign and shows things are beginning to happen
I tell you this not to worry you but to forewarn what might happen , if you start to get side effects or have any questions just shout and someone will be here to try to help
Another point is do follow the dosing build up and don't try to rush things
I wish you the best of luck with the Skilarence and hopefully you will get long time clearance like I have and can almost forget you have psoriasis
