Hi from Vicky3177

[jiml]

It's great to have you here. I'm glad you are doing so well on the initial tablets it's good news for your future and the long term clearance you should get
But as Caroline rightly said just make sure you keep having blood tests and ask what the results are,
You want to keep an eye on the lymphocytes (  normal is between 1-3) but if they do drop, reducing the dose a bit will allow them to recover
Pleased to see your return .... and feel free to ask questions

Great what I do is ask the values even just the lymphocyte count
They will try to tell you that it's normal....but ask the actual values, if you know the values yourself you can see if there's a trend
I put mine in my journal here ( you will soon have 10 posts no be able to see the journals ) and then will be able to see how I keep track

2 weekly at the start is very good , I do mine every month and some stretch them further than that but I like to keep a good eye on them so if there's a drop you can easily correct it

Fantastic, Vicky. You show that Fumaderm can match the efficacy of any treatment going, and (as other members of the DMF gang have pointed out) a fast result with a low dose could mean that it will keep working for you for as long as you need it. I hope to read of your continuing success and your shared experience will add to the great resource of this forum.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Vicky welcome to the forum , it's great to hear of any success , I was on MTX for 9 years and had problems but as Caroline said some people can tolerate things differently and get completely different results . I am on Stelara now and that is fantastic but we are all different and what works for one does not seem to work for another .
The inmates on here are great if a bit barmy but it's a great friendly place to be.
