[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[Caroline]

Maybe different question then - before the pills started working - were there new patches coming out still?

J.

In my case no........... the patches just faded away slowly without any new ones appearing .... But that's just my experience we are all different and the drugs affect different people different ways .
Yes perhaps you need to increase the dose or if you feel things are improving stay on your 960 a day and see what happens I don't know how long you have been on 960 but if it's recent I would wait a bit before increasing .... But I'm sure Caroline will give you better advice on dosing
Stay strong it is working  

Hello Joana,

Well this Jim has thrown me into a nice situation, , difficult to give advice.
You are on 8x120, that is a reasonable normal dose, a psoriasis acquaintance of mine has the same dose.
Still it always can go higher, but keep on checking your blood values !! that is important during the building up and consolidation phase.

I cannot speak of own experiences on patches, as with me the psoriasis patches always have been minimal, it was the PsA that brought me to this medication. Currently I am on the for me minimal dose of 5 or 6 x 120, and I feel that under some circumstances my feet hurt, then I have to increase a little for a number of days until it is gone.

As apparently Psorinovo seems to work for you quite well, I should stick with this dose, or still try it a little higher, there is no problem in doing that.

Cheers,
Caroline
