My daughter has psoriasis

[jiml]

my daughter has severe plaque psoriasis which she has had for 11 years and has undergone all available treatment, except for stelera injections. she went for an assessment recently and was told her score was 8.5/10, which was not quite enough to qualify for treatment in Bournemouth. She is becoming suicidile. Does anyone know if there are any areas of the country where this treatment might be more readily available, because I suspect that the Bournemouth area would prefer not to spend money on this type of treatment if at all possible.

Hi and welcome to the club and thank you for posting. It seems as if you are being given a hard time down in Bournemouth. Have you spoken to the dermatologist of her suicidal thoughts  ? If they don’t think her skin is bad enough her mental health should also be taken into account. My advice is to speak again to the dermatologist there and paint a really black picture of her mental state. As they are required to take this into account when deciding on treatments

Can I ask what have they prescribed as they don’t feel stelara is needed ?
