Queen Mary University to develop a targeted approach to psoriasis treatment

[Caroline]

Hope they will look at DMF, using out of the box thinking, but they probably will not as industry is involved. :(

Not likely Caroline it's the UK.

They might at least look at Fumaderm as I know we are using that maybe not DMF I don't know if DMF is used over here I will be asking the question of my dermatologist soon

Jim.....
The working substance of Fumaderm IS DMF.

Men...

Caroline

I thought you said there was a difference in the coatings
I am a bit dim but you are not on Fumaderm so there must be some difference?

Jim,

No, I am not on Fumaderm. I am on Psorinovo.
BUT..... Of both medicines the working substance, the fact that we both have minor problems, is because of the dimethylfumarate. That is the really working substance !

The difference are the additives in fumaderm, which do nothing against psoriasis, only protect your stomach. And psorinovo uses a coating and slow release for that, and therefore has no additives.

You can check, but it is not.
You can only get it at Steunpunt Apotheek Mierlo-Hout, at Mierlo-Hout, in the Netherlands. They will send it abroad if you order it there though. Only problem is the insurance of course.

There is more to explain but I've had it for today, so I am going to sleep.
You could take a look at the website [web]www.psoriasistherapie dot nl[/web] though, it is Dutch you can find English information there.

Sleep well to you and to the others online!

Goodnight Caroline sweet dreams

Not sure if it's available to all but it has been prescribed for a few in Norwich I am told.
I would doubt if Norwich is the only area that prescribes it.
Any other UK members let us know if you have had it

Thanks Jim, if anyone else knows more please start a new thread as it helps others find relevant stuff on search engines.

I have appointment with my dermatologist on Monday for my first session of phototherapy so I will ask then, and if any thing else anyone wants to know? I will also tell her about this site, hopefully she can pass it on to others. I didn't really have much info on P so this site has helped me lots.... Even if it is knowing other people are going through it.

Just a small question though, has anyone had photopherapy? What's it like?...teeny bit nervous.

Don't be nervous it will not hurt a bit. My last time having it was about 10 years ago. I have asked for it since, but I am told I have had my lifetime limit. Hence I am on tabs.
You will find after a couple of weeks you will be sporting a fine tan and hopefully the psoriasis will have receded, and you will be happy taking your shirt off and showing the missus and anyone else that cares to look

You can if you want when you see your dermo print off a small poster from Fred's page "Support psoriasis club " and ask if you can pin it up or perhaps she may like to keep it for reference

[Justin-UK]

Will print off the poster ready to take
