Hello,thanks for the concer, trying not be graphic!. On a minor front I get a sore which does not worry me much, also quite minor is the the slight colic moments but these usually pass reasonably quickly. I also get some itching strangely this is not the areas of psoriasis but skin close to larger areas of psoriasis, eg legs and arms. The real problem areas are drowsiness, cramps and diarrahoea. Drowsiness comes with some light dizzy-spells, but the tiredness is quite hard to deal with. I get a lot of stomach cramps, I have been given Buscapan Tablets (hyoscine butybromide) 10mg to help with this, but only two tablets a day, half of the time these do not stop the cramps for long enough to offer any real comfort if the cramps ar ein isolation the tablets have more effect, but often they come with the serious diarrahoea. Diarrahoea is a daily problem ranging from light to quite severe, and when severe is accompanied by serious cramps which the buscopan seems to be unable to contend with. Therefore the serious bouts can take a lot out of, which in turn cause loss of sleep which saps morale very quickly. If there were enough days between serious bouts then I would be a lot happier, but the serious bouts are three sometimes four days apart, of course regular and light diarrahoea still occur on the other days.
I can see huge effect on the psoriasis, hence the reason I am still continuing with the fumaderm, also evidence presented by the the consultant strongly suggests the side effects ease or dissapear after three months, (so just under two months to go?). If anyone can give advice to reduce the effects of the side effects then please please do so. At the moment considering the lifestyle effects I am worse off with the fumaderm, my spare time is seriously suffering as is physical contact with my wife. I do not want to return to endless creams, scratching and leaving piles of skin wherever I stand so I do want this to work, anything that may help get me through this is welcomed.
