Fumaderm and kidney problems

[krug22]

Thanks for your comments! Dermo had huge personality clash with Eric who is rather deaf - Dermo speaks quietly and is Russian but since we have been seeing him at the local hospital I have been going with him. Dermo is ok if challenged and will explain - he asked me to go to the BAD website and there is a huge amount of information there. He also said they tried the topical treatments first because the more advanced treatments often had side affects so I was warned. Very hard to make decisions for Eric frankly but I am not sure how much he understands and he just does not like the Dermo which leaves it up to me to try and negotiate a way forward! Also Eric literally could not walk this time last year - his ankles and calves were horrific with the sores and we had bleeding and constant risk of infection so Dermo had to do something. I think I knew there would be no 'quick fix'. Eric was against the injections but may have to re consider now.  

Also please remember Eric has Lupus (which is dormant at the moment)/Gout, Acid Reflux and Aneamia so yes there are considerable co-morbidities going on. Light therapy was not an option due to the possibility of it triggering the Lupus. So there are no easy options.

At the moment, Eric is complaining of itching so it is going to be a difficult weekend... I just really hope we do not have a  major flare up. I have left a message with the nurse and hopefully will get a call from Dermo on Tuesday. One option might be to put Eric on a much lower dose of Fumaderm until the dermo can see him but I do not know what the latest kidney function test taken on Tuesday shows......
