fumaderm and low blood count

[jiml]

Hi been on fumaderm  for a year got a letter at xmas saying blood count is low and to lower dosage
Had bloods taken a few weeks ago and still low but my skins breaking out again and on my fave and hands bad
Do I up the dosage myself to 6 tabs a day as this seems to clear it as the letter for low blood count does not seem to be anything  to worry about 
I have loads of these tablets

Hi Moggy and welcome   to the forum, I am also a Fumaderm user..... My first advice to you is to contact dermatology and ask what the readings are, it tends to be the lymphocytes that drop and can get dangerously low, but before you take it on yourself to increase the dose, you need to know what the values are and if they are increasing even if they are still low.


Without this information you could be putting yourself in harms way..

What dose are you on presently?
There are many reasons your blood count could go down, a nasty infection can do it as well as the Fumaderm

So I'm not brushing your question off but it would be wrong of anyone to suggest you increase the dose without the facts.
If you can get the values, we can better advise although non of us are doctors .

I know how well Fumaderm works and it would be a shame to have to come off it .... I would be devastated myself, but I have had to reduce the dose myself to get my lymphocyte count up again

I look forward to hearing what your blood levels were at Christmas and what they are now
