Jim's Fumaderm and hormone treatment

[jiml]

It makes me wonder about the dynamics of lymphocyte populations in relation to DMF, Jim. Caroline says that the count is knocked down initially but eventually increases. You seem to have done this, and hopefully the status quo will remain and allow you to keep your arthritis at bay. I hope I can follow in your footsteps, but I have been amazed by how useful the sun has been. Kind of like a buy two get one free deal with my DMF doses.

Cheers,

Bill

Yes I don't know the mechanics of the way the lymphocytes work in relation to the treatment but with the close monitoring I get it's easy to modify the dose to keep the lymphocytes at a good level and my psoriasis virtually undetectable ...apart from the white scaring which is more apparent in the summer as in the winter my legs are white anyway
I'm like you Bill and have put my faith in DMF which has certainly been a life changer for me. But old habits die hard and I used to rely on what little sun we get here to combat my psoriasis and in the summer you will rarely catch me in anything but shorts while the sun is out. I love the feel of the sun and it is a great help and I'm sure assists the DMF
