Hello PurpleMusic 
to Psoriasis Club.
Yes sometimes we get to a stage where it is time to move on, I managed for years on creams and the odd painkiller to get me by until one day it stuck me down with vengeance. I was a bit apprehensive about going onto my first Bio but I had no choice as I had become covered in scales and unable to move, it turned out I was pleasantly surprised and ended up getting my life back.
So yep I would say try something else, you will probably get offered one of the oral tablets first so I would read up on them and go armed with your questions.
A search will find you more on each one from our members, but these are the ones you may get offered in the UK.
Methotrexate
Acitretin
Ciclosporine
The may offer you Fumaderm but as it's still new to the UK it may not be available to you yet.
If you do want to read more about the Bio's this thread will help Biological Treatments For Psoriasis But I doubt you will be offered them.
Regards.
Fred.
