But you are lucky there is no way I could do what you have done in the UK
I admire your resolve and the study you must have done before making the decision to start on Psorinovo.
May I ask is psorinovo an approved drug in Netherlands now? Or do you still have to fund it yourself
The trick is simple. Psorinovo is not registered.
But.... the substance DMF is registered as a medication, and because of this substance medication all medicines that contain it are covered by the insurance.
Still the patients organisation is working on the registration of Psorinovo, which is extremely difficult. Therefore there is a working group, called SWOP, that works on the start of scientific research. Have you seen my tweet on that?
Is it the one I re tweeted although the video was in dutch
Does your system allow you to do this and still support you
Yes... We are much more liberal than the UK and the US.
And it is logical. As in the medical guidelines dimethylfumarate is mentioned as a substance for being used with psoriasis, even recently with priority over others.
The system does not punish us, if we do different as the system prescribes.
I think that is more than logical. It is your own body. It is not the system that has to decide over that.
