Hi again JayKay, I can understand your thinking as you are fighting a losing battle with your dermatology department, I'm be inclined to warn against home uv treatment, for the reason it cannot be effectively monitored and you could cause serious damage to your skin in the form of skin cancer
if I were you I would be writing a letter or firing off an email to the hospital dermatology department.
Telling them of your dismay at the lack of alternatives offered and your inability due to cost and your mental state of not being able to attend their UV clinic 3 times a week.
Tell them you are feeling let down by the system, because the hospital won't prescribe tablets that could give you relief, and you are feeling desperate and considering buying a home UV lamp, but have been advised this could be a dangerous move.
Tell them it's a last resort, and you would rather work with them than go it alone
Ask them to reconsider your case on a compassionate basis as you are desperate for some relief .
That's what I would do if I were you
