Hi Enrico,

A bleach bath is a bath with half a cup of bleach added. I had heard of it used for eczema so I gave it a try. I didn't think it did anything but I would guess that the idea of it would be to alter the skin's microbial flora.

Cheers,

Bill

About Psorinovo I will tell you a bit later.
Now doing my nails. Hi hi.

Okay Enrico,

At first, Welcome to psoriasisclub.
I did not have the opportunity to do that yet, because I have been very busy and not around.

On the differences between Fumaderm and Psorinovo.
The one similar point is, they both use the working substance DMF in equal quantities, which is the basic, bare stuff that Bill is using.

With Fumaderm this is contained in a so called combination preparate. It is combined with MonoEthylFumarate and a number of additives to protect the stomach, DMF can give you bad stomach cramps, and it has a protective layer around to get it through the stomach into your intestines. There it does it's amazing job.

Psorinovo is NOT a combination preparate, it only uses DMF, just like Bill does. But... it has a protective layer to get it through the stomach and then afterwards it is released gradually in your intestines. The advantage of this is that the side effects are normally much less than those of Fumaderm.
The disadvantage is that it only can be ordered from one place, one pharmacy, in the Netherlands. It will be shipped to any location if you order it.
In the Netherlands, the insurance pays for it, as DMF and the Z-index number of it is registered as a medication against psoriasis. Probably it is normally NOT payed for in other countries in Europe, unless you can convince your insurance (and doctor) that it is just a DMF-medication in a form that works for you.

There is much more to tell, but also already much told on the forum.

Any questions? Just Ask.

Belated hello Enrico

[Enrico]

Thanks to you all for the warm welcome and the information.
I started my treatment and I'm now on week 6 .
the box says fumaderm 70 ( I believe they are 70 tablets though) and I'm tacking 3 tabs a day.
the scales have been cleaned up completely and the skin is not irritated and thinner.
I still have the aureola ( not sure how to describe the stain) but it seems regressing steadily.
No side effects yet ( ok i do pay some visit to the loo but not sure I can attribute this to the product).

So happy out so far, I believe I can get t-shirt and shorts very soon.
the only "side effect" is the cost of the medication.

We call the aureola, a flush. I guess you mean the getting red all over.
Yes, the loo effect is probably due to the DMF but will regress also.
Great that it works so good for you.
