#1 It's not available under prescription in the UK, so she will have to pay for it herself and import it.
Indeed it is only available under prescription in the Netherlands. It can easily be ordered. But indeed you have to pay for it yourself.
Quote:#2 As she won't be getting treated by the NHS she will also have to pay privately for regular blood tests.
No. That is not really necessary. She can stay on Fumaderm. But instead take the Psorinovo, the derm doesn't even have to know. So the blood tests continue and you can see the changes/differences. There won't be much as the DMF dose is the same, only the Fumaderm additions are missing.
Quote:#3 Who will be monitoring her condition, and who will she turn to for advice.
See my answer on #2. There is NO difference....
Quote:#4 Is it worth going it alone, and is the cost involved worth it for something that is much the same as Fumaderm.
Well if it is all about the side effects and Psorinovo would greatly reduce them, then that would make the treatment better to be tolerated.
IF the problems remain, than Angie's body definitely cannot cope with DMF. And there is definitely no possibility to continue the treatment.
Quote:Just my opinion.
And just my answer.
I wrote it because of Angie's prevalence for pills and as a possibility to check if it really the DMF.
