Hi everyone, I've just registered and not 100% sure how things work on here, i'm looking for peoples experiences using Fumaderm? I'm on it and have been for about a year and suddenly i'm getting bad side effects! and to add insult to serious injury they no longer seem to be working!!! I'm on the max dose (6 tablets per day) Anyone have the same problem? Thanks! x

Hi Lcurry92,

Welcome to psoriasisclub, a group of fellow sufferers with psoriasis.

There is a lot to find on Fumaderm on the forum. No doubt Jim will come back to you.
I am also on DMF, but not on Fumaderm.

In order to make things easier for Jim, can you tell a bit more?

What kind of side effects did you get?
How severe are they?
Did you ever have it before?
What is the serious injury you have?
How often have you been to the dermatologist?
Is the presciption done according to a slow protocol?
How often was your blood measured? If you are on it for a year now, that should at least have been 4 times in my opinion.

Hope to read more from you.

Caroline.

Welcome! This is a good place to ask questions I'm not on Furmaderm so can't help but you'll get information from others who can.

I have vomiting, cramping and feeling nauseous for days at a time. I'd say moderately severe on a bad day i find it difficult to eat anything which is horrible because you have to take the tablets with food!
The "add insult to serious injury" is only a saying, i dont have any serious injury sorry for the confusion.
I go to the dermatologist every 3 months to discuss my skin and get my bloods done and as far as im aware my blood results are normal. Thanks for replying!

Hi Lcurry,

Ok, haha,  then I did not get the expression right. That is because I am not a native English speaker.
Always pleased to give  a reply, we are here for each other.

I think Jim will want to say something about it, but if I were you I would reduce the number of pills to take. For instance you are now on six if I were you I would go to for instance four or even three.
Just in order to get you some rest in the intestines.
Of course that is a little bit depending on the seriousness of your psoriasis, but it may be better to get a little back and to feel a lot better. Later on you can always increase again.
Second thing that I would do is asking for the results of your blood tests. So you can gather them and you can have an eye on it your self.

Caroline.

P.s.  Oh and don't mind Bav  too much, Hihi, we have recently acquired this nutcase in this forum, and he has  adapted himself very quickly with the rest of the silly crowd.

Hi lcurry welcome indeed I see you have met a few of us already as you can see we will all try to put you at ease
Caroline is very knowledgeable about DMF and as her first language is not English she does remarkably well, although some of our sayings send her running to her phrase book...  
Regarding your symptoms that is strange that after a year it is beginning to have these effects on you  you should be having your bloods done monthly really to be safe.
Ask for the results they are important for you to know
Are you taking anything new or eating differently ?
With regard to it not working and yet you are on maximum dose is a mystery
Was it working until recently?
I'm sorry I can't think of a reason for it to stop working and side effects getting worse
I will think a bit longer and write again later
