Hi Folks I'm Back ! having been taken off the Ixekizumab trial and my skin has returned to NORMAL moderate to severe scaling I have now been prescribed FUMADERM, started Mon 12/09 2016. To begin I am on one (Fumaderm Initial) 30mg tab per day for the first week increasing each week by +1 30mg tab for four weeks then moving on to full dose 120mg and increasing weekly until I reach the max dose which I think is x 2 120mg 3 times a day then reducing the dose untilI find the lowest dose that keeps my skin clear. having been clear for over 6 months while on the Ixekizumab I am taking bad with having to deal with full blown psoriasis and am Hoping this will finally be my fix.

Well Flagstare. I wish you very good luck with this treatment. It already has done a lot for quite a few of us. There is enough material on the side and knowledge to keep you posted.

Hope to hear your progress..

Hi Flagstare,

I have found that taking cysteine an hour before my DMF reduces the gastric upset for me, but whether this works for the tablets I dont know. Hope you clear anyhow. DMF has been a Godsend for me.

Cheers,

Bill

Great news I'm glad to see you back and with good news that you are going on Fumaderm , it's not always an easy drug to live with at the start, but if you are unfortunate and get side effects and you can tolerate them, they do pass

After 4.5 years I think I have been clear on Fumaderm and I've just increased my dose and it seems to have a positive effect on my psoriatic arthritis as well

So I look forward to hearing your experience of Fumaderm and what it can do for you

Just make sure you have regular blood tests as it's important to keep an eye on blood counts.
I always ask for mine and record them in my journal here [Group Specific]
I find it very handy to look back on and see any changes

I look forward to following your experience
Good luck
Jim
