Question about fumaderm

[braye lodge]

Hi Brave lodge!
So sorry for not seeing this earlier. Fumaderm isn't texhnically licenced here I think, but a consultant can prescribe it. I'm fairly certain VHI won't cover it, and unfortunately you can't get the medical card to cover the cost. What you can do, is apply for a drug payment scheme card (DPS card). If you get it, it will mean you won't more than €144 a month for your prescriptions. fumaderm is ridiculously expensive here, so you should get it on the basis alone.  I'm on little above minimum wage, and can't get any other kind of help with it. It is a lot to pay, but if it's possible and you can afford the €144, but if it works, it's worth it.

Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to message me!

Thanks that's an interesting answer Ccarr I hope that will be interesting to Braye and others who live in Ireland  

Thank you for the info. Hope it is licensed.

So dermatology won't take me back unless I have a good reason. They said I can't skip queues. I'm upset because now i'll be taken off my medication, just when i've been at my best.

That's a shame Braye I don't think you should stop just reduce the dose to give your blood time to recover, then up it again....

Caroline I think has other ideas

I might have to wait 6 months or more. I won't be given a choice my medication runs out may and i'll be home from April

Hi.

I am getting a bit lost in the discussion. Have been working a bit hard today, and I am doing more things at the same time right now.
Why is dermatology leaving you alone right now?
That is no way of treating a patient? Right?

I'm moving from guernsey back to ireland. You can't just transfer. Waiting lists galore. The thing with fumaderm is you can't get more than 3months supply

Ah, yes.. That is a problem. Quite a problem.
Perhaps there are possibilities you did not think of yet?
If they say that you must have a good reason, then the best reason is that Fumaderm works for you, I think that is a major reason to continue despite your newness back in the system in Ireland.
Strange the waiting lists are so long.

You could talk with your current derm and get recepies for a longer period?
Is it possible for you to pay for it yourself? For a time at least?

I feel like a foreigner in my own country. I suppose my choice to move away. It's the improvement in my quality, I handle stressful events so much better now. My current derm  won't allow me have more and can't get another appointment for 3 months.  1 dermatologist in guersey and he works in 2 different surgerys imagine that. 
I wish I was more optimistic

Just a thought, is it possible that you could make an appointment with your current dermatologist in guernsey for three months time and then get a cheap flight from Ireland and back to just go and see him for another three months supply ?

[Caroline]

I am really thinking hard, but I think you need a prescription even if you would order it from the Netherlands,
