Fumaderm and hormone injections

Another update
Been on 4x 120mg tablets a day for almost a month my psoriasis has not improved I'm still confident as its not getting worse and I've just had some time in the sun which should help.
Been to the doctors this afternoon for a problem I think is related to my prostate cancer ( a side effect from the treatment I hope ) waiting for a hospital appointment for investigation
I asked for my blood results and was really pleased considering my increased dose of Fumaderm
Lymphocytes up to 1.25 ( normal between 1-3)
Neutrophils 4.52 ( normal between 2-7)
Liver and kidney function good
Wbc 6.7 ( put this in for bill normal between 4 and 10 )
Rbc 5.18 ( normal between 4.5and 5.5 )

Thanks Kat yes it was very pleasing on the bloods front all well despite me putting my dose up. I had suspected under 1 on the lymphocytes but seems my body is happy with the dose

That is very good news Jim. Hopefully a bit of sunshine will make the difference for you.

Cheers,

Today I have been for my three monthly hormone injection to prevent a reoccurrence of my prostate cancer, my blood test showed <0.01 which is virtually untraceable so I was happy to bare my stomach for the next injection.
Results from the colonoscopy shows a little residual damage caused by the earlier radio therapy I had. So no cause for concern there

My dose of Fumaderm remains the same at 4 x 120mg tablets a day ( 2 with breakfast and 2 with my evening meal) and to be honest I don't notice the side effects now just a bit of warming of the face

Blood levels are good Kidney and liver function good .... Lymphocyte count at 1.25 an increase from my last test ( normal between 1-3 ) so alls well with my health
I've had a great summer although the weather has been against me have been swimming in the sea with my grandkids, swimming in pools running around in shorts and teeshirts without the normal fears, that go with psoriasis
If anyone gets the chance push for fumaderm with you dermatologist, it's inexpensive and very effective.

The side effects are awful to start with but as your body gets used to it they should begin to subside
It's 4 years now I've been on it and apart from the time just after my prostate cancer I have been 99% clear. I can live with one tiny spot on my elbow to remind me.
