I can't tell you why my Fumaderm is working for me but I can tell you why I love it so much,
Before going on Fumaderm I was on topical,creams of one kind or another I ended up with dermovate which I believe to be the strongest i have used and I still,keep,a,tube beside me for emergencies.... I have suffered skin thinning mainly on my shins where I used to get psoriasis really badly and was constantly putting ointment on, the rest of my body has fared well with no adverse effects. I also keep,a,tube of Dovabet again just in case.
I have used Dovonex which had no effect on my skin whatsoever Dovonex is not a steroid it is a vitamin D derivative, but as I say did nothing for me
I used to have puva treatment which was a psoralen bath before UVA treatment it was great and cleared my skin, but it was an uphill battle and lasted a few months then returned..... When they told me no more phototherapy as I had a lifetimes doses already we had to look to the next step.
For me it was methotrexate which did a great job and cleared my skin. But I couldn't tolerate taking it as it made me feel so unwell,and nauseous. I couldn't face taking them in the end and they moved me onto Fumaderm what a great day that was. Caroline can tell you why it works, me I just know it works great for me
I had stomach/ intestine cramps to begin but now I never get them, I got hot flushes which are not unpleasant, and I still,get a few......I don't know if this helps or not
