"Diagnosed 2A/B MF 7/27/11. Prescribed 7 Targretin as initial dose, but put on gemfibrozil at the same time. Bad move. Crashed with triglycerides at 4600, ouch. Ceased immediately, but without 'stepping off.' Developed huge water blisters on every patch and plaque; clobetasol for healing on p/pl. Reduced to 3 - too low; increased to 4. Very steady progress for 17 months, but personal stress relapsed to more patches. Increased Targretin to 5 - slept for 3 months until I was 'level' again. All patches are gone. All plaques are gone. My skin looks 'lightly tanned,' but in a reverse pattern, haaa. It gave me my life 'back' as far as MF can let it. I wish I would have started it the moment I was diagnosed."
