Humira shots

Sorry about that

I think Fred was simply mentioning that since a few of our more active members use DMF/Fumaderm that he didn't want THEM to take this thread off topic as it's not available in the US so not very helpful information for you.

I am one of the members who took Acitretin. The main concern for Acitretin (aka Soritane) is that it's not to be used if you intend on having children within the next three years or so. Now I've only seen that listed for females to not become pregnant as it can cause birth defects but should you be wanting to have children in the next few years, I'd definitely ask about that! The side effects are fairly mild, dry lips, mild hair loss for some people, headaches, etc. I didn't really notice many side effects, it at all. It worked well for me to get me clear and my derm let me reduce the dose and then try being completely off of it. So far it's been going really well, I do use a topical at times as I do have some stubborn places that reappear (but they have stayed manageable so far)

I'm not sure I would totally rule out biologics after just one, but I do understand your hesitation on that.

Whatever you try, I wish you well with it and look forward to hearing your experience.

And .... you definitely are not alone!!
