Went to Guys hospital yesterday and asked them for an update on Fumaderm.
Because of the slim chance off getting the Jc virus,which is untreatable,
they have stopped prescribing Fumaderm to any new patients
for the few that are still on them if there lymphocyte drops to 0.7
or lower ( like me ) they are taken off them for good. the ones that have normal
lymphocyte counts are now told if they want to stay on them they have to sign a consent form.
this only applies to Guys hospital.
