Hello Lostsoul 
to Psoriasis Club
I would suggest the same as Jim and Caroline, have a word with your dermatologist and explain how difficult the travelling is going to be for you and ask about Fumaderm. Tell them you are planning another baby, that will stop them prescribing Methotrexate, Acitretin, Etc.
Having said that the guidelines for Fumaderm say "You should not take Fumaderm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding" but it's something you could ask about.
The next option after the tablets is the Bio treatments, that would save on journey's as you can do the injections at home. But I doubt they would give you them yet.
Apart from that it's back to the creams.
Just a thought would it be worth asking your college if they know of any help with transport in your case, colleges are a great source of information and you have nothing to loose by asking.
Regards.
Fred.
