its been a while since I updated as I haven't really had anything to say about my psoriasis, since I reduced my dose to two a day back in April last year , due to low lymphocyte count .
I have struggled to keep my psoriasis acceptable to me
I have been Increasing and decreasing on and off for the year with very little effect on my psoriasis
Just got my latest bloods and I'm very pleased with them see post RE: Fumaderm and hormone injections
I took the bull by the horns and increased to 4 a day last month and I am beginning to notice less flaking , but not fading yet
I still have joane's words ringing in my ears where she said she reduced for 2 weeks and was 3 months trying to get back to clear again
I am not to unduly perturbed as the score I have now at 13 I couldn't have dreamed of before Fumaderm
A lot has happened in that year apart from getting a year older
I have just sold my business and am enjoying not having to answer the phone to customers in distress. That is a big worry less.
But now I have to learn how to manage on my pensions, which seems very strange after always having work to do and a way to generate money ... So this is a new exciting time in my life which should see a reduction in stress and with it a reduction of psoriasis..
I am due to see my dermatologist in May and I will tell her then that I have tweaked my dose and hope she understands my reasoning
