10 July 2021

Had face to face visit to the dermatologist today and was pleased to chat to him of the benefits of DMF as an effective treatment for psoriasis , he said that in view of my experience of the drug which he had no previous experience of with other patients.  he was  now offering it as an alternative to methotrexate to patients.  He did tell me that skilarence was more expensive than fumaderm and he asked pharmacy at the hospital if he could prescribe that and was told no as it wasn't licenced . He checked me out and was pleased with my skin I did point out that it has kept my psoriatic arthritis generally pain free.  although I did show him some sun damage on my forehead and he used cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen  to freeze off an actinic keratoses. .... I'm just glad it wasn't anything sinister
My bloods are good with my lymphocyte count at 0.95 he has asked to see me again in 3 months.
Ohhh and I finally got a prescription for enstilar foam
