Hi Kerry I'm also in the so called DMF gang. And can assure you that Caroline is really very caring and has a lot of knowledge of DM F and she would never try to make you feel uncomfortable but can understand how she misunderstood out British terms
Of course you're gutted (distressed) that the skilarence seems to have given up although it is unlikely in my thinking, ....it might be your bad cold infection has made your immune system tackle that leaving your psoriasis to fight what it feels more more if a threat .
Yes you are on maximum dose that the doctors can prescribe as that's a maximum dose stated by the manufacturer. (We may not agree with them but it's the rule )
I would say find out what your lymphocyte level is it should be between 1 and 3 and if it's below 0.7 you should reduce the dose or stop until they recover (and they will)
My advice would be to get over the cold or flu infection don't stop taking the tablets unless your lymphocyte count is low below 0.7.
The psoriasis should begin to subside then .
Can I ask how bad it's got and when it started to get worse ?
I have been on Skilarence for nearly 9 years now and psoriasis has occasionally popped up when I've been ill. But it always begins to work again
