You have certainly great hospitals, I have been in them also, after slipping out in a river and hurting myself against a rock. But... They don't have DMF, and that is really an omission.
Anyway if everything fails, if nothing works anymore, there is still DMF to try. As a last option. Hi hi while here in NL, voices are going that it should be the first option to try. The most well known dermatologist in NL Dr. Bing Thio states that DMF could be the aspirine of the future for auto immune treatments.
But let's not continue on that, it's late already, and I have to go to bed.
Of course I feel very sorry for you that you have the flare ups, and of course hope the stelara and the derm can do something for you.
Yes I know your feelings and Bill's, but even if DMF was available to me I'm not sure if I would take it to be honest. I think my biggest problem is that in my younger days before psoriasis I would take anything in tablet or sugar cube form and wouldn't think twice about it, but as I got my self sorted out and then ended up getting sick as hell with methotrexate I shudder at the thought of even having to swallow a pain killer which I do sometimes need.
So I can't see any oral form of treatment ever working for me, unless it can be sneaked in my Merlot without me knowing.
I guess it's more of a phobia than anything else, but I put myself against popping years ago and it's stuck.
