Moving back to the UK

Hi All,
Quick update, I had my final U.S. Based injection last Thursday and managed
To secure 1 injection from Jansen Rep to bring back to the U.K. with me, 
which will be due the middle of May.
Hopefully will get it sorted with my GP by then ?

Good result Ashley ...you did well getting a dose to bring back with you
Yes let's hope you can get seen quickly when you get back here and are able to continue with Stelara

Hope you are able to get things sorted quickly. It's good that you were able to get an injection to take back with you.

Hi Ashley

I moved back to the UK in Sept 2016, I saw a GP on the 17th and have just seen a consultant on the 1st March 2017.....to try to get back on Humira which is a similar drug

The waiting time to see the derms< derms cant proscribe it here in the NW so I had to wait for a consultant, and also if your skin is ok at the mo you will not meet funding criteria i.e. a Pasi score of 10....this is how it is in the North west anyhow?

It is a nightmare to get the biologics because of the cost and the NHS hurting, so as has been said on here you may have to go through some other treatments first

I know Methotrexate and Cyclosporine from experience is maybe what the will go for subject to your physical condition....high BP etc. etc.

Good luck

Tomc
