Hi Jim

Hope you are well.

Def think the hearing loss is due to acitretin.

Was on Fumaderm last year but couldn't stand the side effects although was mainly clear. It made me so ill.

I have this feeling that won't be able to stay on this for long though.

That's a shame Cathy, I hadn't heard if hearing loss linked to acetretin but you may well be right... Has it affected it a large amount ?

Sorry that the Fumaderm didn't work for you ....it can be harsh as you found out, and depending on the severity whether to stop or carry on , I'm sure I was one of the lucky ones with side effects although quite severe they did pass quickly each day ....

I hope you are luckier with the acetretin, but if not pester your dermatologist for a biological drug
