Almost there

I have to say that its bad news for me.    

I'm starting to go backwards, despite the Fuma and Cysteine combination.  In about 5 weeks, i'm back at the Churchill dermo hospital for one of my 3 or 4 monthly visits with the consultant, and as has already been discussed with them last visit, it could be MTX again

I'm going to ask her if i can increase the Fuma firstly, before anything else.  I know 6 a day is supposed to be the limit but I get very little in the way of side effects that maybe i can increase the dose.

If she says no, then its looking like MTX again

Sorry to hear that it's not working well for you, that is a shame, you say even with the cysteine as well the psoriasis is getting worse ... I don't think your dermatologist will agree to going above the maximum dose that the manufacturer has stated,
It will be a shame for you as it had been working so well .... Do you think this could be just a temporary flare up ? Have you had more stress than usual, or a traumatic experience that could have triggered it again.
I think when you first wrote you were fairly clear on fumaderm but you wanted total clearance, now it's getting worse,

I think Caroline will have something to say about the additives in fumaderm which may be what makes it dangerous to exceed the dose ... Myself I'm not sure
Good luck with the dermatologist and do keep us informed what decisions are made.... or if the psoriasis recedes before the visit

I'm just dreading the day it stops working for me, I'm hoping because I am on a lower dose 4 a day that I still have room to manoeuvre
