Fumaderm side effects

[danny0810]

Hi All
I am so pleased I registered with the Psoriasis Club. Just reading the comments posted by fellow sufferers as eased my mind regarding my current treatment.
I have recently stopped using methotrexate after 1 year due to the effects it was having on my liver and was prescribed Fumaderm in July 2012. I am currently on 2 Blue tablets per day and the stomach cramps are already unbearable. I was contemplating stopping this treatment but my psoriasis is at an all-time high.
Is there any other treatment I could consider?

Hello Danny and I will move this thread to "Prescribed Treatments" as it may get spotted by more people. there are a few other threads in that section about Fumaderm.

You're welcome to start another thread in Intro's if you want.

Hi Danny did you get sorted out with your Fumaderm treatment.
You dont say if you started on Fumaderm initial before going on to Fumaderm full strength. I know it is a bit late to be replying but I have only recently joined the club. I would say if you can bear the cramps they should stop after a while. I found cramps and flushes bothered me for a few weeks then ceased. I dont know if you are still on the same treatment or have changed, I can only speak from my experience and I was smothered when I started with Fumaderm. I noticed a slight improvement whilst on the Fumaderm Initial and within a couple of months on full strength I was clear and have been ever since. and only get the occasional flush.

Agreed with Jim, and if you want to get rid of the cramps much earlier you can go for Psorinovo.
