Welcome Leizel!
It's actually amazing to me the amount of diseases/illnesses that are "no cure, only treatment" out there. I think that learning to cope is partly learning as much as you can about the disease and about treatments and then finding a doctor who is wanting to help you find the treatment that's best for you. I started on ointments and it was explained to me that for here (US) most insurances require that you try ointments, then oral meds and if none of that works, biologics.
Not sure how your insurance and/or medical coverage works but I hope your doctor listens and if you aren't getting relief from topical creams or ointments he or she will help you to get a treatment that works!
This forum is great for getting info and also a great place for people who are sympathetic and always willing to listen
