I would like to thank you all for your welcome to the club,i should have been more precise and said that i am now approaching my 4th week on the blue full strength fumaderm tablets.

Over the years i have had the light treatment on 4 occasions ,and as im sure you all know the effect is great at first but eventually the psorasis soon comes back..methatrexate was a disaster,but cyclosporine cleared me completely on a full dose of 300mg daily,unfortunately i ran out of tablets ,and could not get to see my dermatologist until the psorasis had returned after 2 mths i was and still am livid as that was the first total clearance of the disease ive had in years.now im worse than ever.,and as we all know keeping positive is one of the hardest things to do with this disease.

Yes it's difficult staying positive when nothing seems to be working, Fumaderm is a great drug if it works for you and it does for over 70% of people that can tolerate the side effects, but four weeks on one tablet a day is unlikely to have much affect if any on the disease, you must get the dermatologist to follow the instructions and increase in line with the recommendations, unless there is a problem with your bloods or liver and kidney function
You will have to up the dose to get any clearance and when you do get it you can then reduce the dose

But in the meantime you do need to be building the drug up in your system and as I have said one tablet is not doing it

Fumaderm if it does work for you is less toxic than cyclosporine, so stick with it if you can
Best of luck ( Norfolk Boy Jim )
