Ok... today I start my journey with Skilarence after previously having fantastic results with Fumaderm. If you're interested in reading my experience with Fumaderm it's documented here:

I went to the derm yesterday and after checking my baseline bloods they said I was good to go on them. No numbers were mentioned about my bloods apart from that I have higher than normal haemoglobin levels.
So, tonight I will take my first tablet and I'll pray that I have an identical reaction as I did to Fumaderm, as I only had flushing and nothing else and managed to get 100% clearance on just one full strength tablet a day.
The build up last time was incredibly slow whereas this time they want me to go the normal route of upping the tablets each week instead of every 2 weeks like last time.
So fingers crossed and I'll be sure to keep you guys updated as usual.

Looking forward to reading your experience, to be honest you shouldn't notice any difference as far as side effects or efficacy as they are basically the same active ingredient. So will follow with great interest

Indeed there should be no difference.

I'll be sure to keep you updated and let you know how it goes.
Quick question though, can you still take Omega 3 supplements with DMF / Skilarence? I can't find any real info about it.

I have taken such things with DMF and had no issues of note. Good luck with Skilarence OBI. It should work as well for you given how well it has worked in the past.
Cheers

Well I'm 3 weeks into my Skilarence journey (taking 3 tablets a day) and so far I've only had a few flushing episodes and no stomach issues - bit like last time really
One thing I've noticed about the Skilarence initial tablets is just how small they are compared to Fumaderm initial.
So far I've had no change in my skin. In fact, a bit like last time, it seems to have gotten a bit worse and the itching is off the chart!
Anyway here's hoping it kicks in soon.

Hope you start noticing some improvement soon! How long did it take last time?

Great to hear that you are on the way, I'm glad you are only having a similar experience to your fumaderm experience. I hope it works as well as before and you can enjoy years of clear skin as I do on fumaderm for me it's 7 years clear and still going strong
I will follow your journey with great interest
