Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[Bill]

An update. I am eight weeks into treatment with DMF. Plaque coverage has declined from around 40% to below 15%. PASI has declined from 15-20 to ~1.6. The arthritis is improving, and while I am more comfortable on no analgesics than I was prior to DMF, I have decided to take 400 mg ibuprofen and 500 mg paracetamol at night. Side effects have reduced greatly, with only a couple of uncomfortable episodes weekly. The most resistant plaques have been on my shins and the back of my neck, but even these plaques are reducing. I am applying a tar based ointment to all remaining plaques as I feel it is beneficial. I continue to swim in the sea and get sun exposure weekly. I doubt that I will be able to clear my skin within another month as I suspect that I will still have at least 3% coverage, but I am hopeful that I may be clear within eight weeks.
