I'll explain my situation in better detail.
At the moment I'm living half an hour away from the hospital where I can get a train and when I start college in August I've got that sorted out. I'll be moving out of the town to a place where there isn't a transtaion and there isnt a bus that comes often enough. My partner is the only one that drives and he works a lot and at the moment I'm a stay at home mum to my baby daughter. I start my treatment on Wednesday, I'll have to go 3 times a week for 8 weeks till they review my "case" and see how my treatment is going. I can't afford to get there 3 times a week as I'm on maternity pay I've only got it for another 5 months but The money doesn't get me very far. The place i have to go to is hertford county hospital as they have a dermatology department and is the only "local" department.
I haven't had to have treatment for 2-3 years as I got discharged as being an outpatient and had clear skin. I had different types of treatment back then Ive tried methotrexate and cyclosporine. I've had guttate and plaque psoriasis.
My psoriasis started coming back in October 2013 but started to clear in April 2014 as I fell pregnant. Since giving birth in November last year it started coming back slowly. I had plaque on my arms but that cleared up using different creams I got prescribed. Now nothing is working I've got plaque on my ankles and I have slight blistering psoriasis on my palms and bottom of my feet , psoriasi in my toe nails and indentations in my finger nails, the rest I'm covered in guttate. The only clear place is my face at the moment.
I really don't know what to do. As much as I am greatful for the treatment I'll be getting I just don't know if I should have it because of the situation I have.
