Hello I'm new!

Thanks for the welcome Jiml, Ive been reading though threads all day!
Dermatologist said this really my only option as metotrexate not working anymore and im too far away from hospital for light therapy. The system here is that you pay for all your prescription medications up to 144 euro a month and then anything over that is paid for my the health service. Dermatoligist said the cost of fumaderm would be over the threshold so I'd be paying the upper limit of 144.
I am going to have to see if I can get a medical card (entitles you to free gp visits and prescriptions at 2euro50cent.) but that could take ages and probably wont be successful so

Have you been on acetretin or cyclosporine one of those could work for you and will probably be cheaper and may keep your psoriasis down whilst you apply for a medical card?
You don't say what other treatments you have had but Acetretin is working for some of the members on here.
There are other treatments which should be offered to you but I'm not aware of the costs

I can only speak of my experience of Fumaderm and as far as I'm concerned it's a super drug. It has changed my life in a very positive way after being saddled with psoriasis on and off all my adult life.... I am now able to do the things ordinary people do like swimming, and wearing shorts...... little things like not having to check for the pile of scales when you get up from chairs
It's no longer constantly on my mind .
So if you can get it funded I'm sure it could do the same for you
Good luck and keep,coming back
