Kat I'm afraid I'm not clever enough to give you any answers, you are an astute person and I'm sure you will decide for yourself what is likely to be "best" I think most of us can only advise on what we have tried and I think like you we give a biased view.
What you are doing at the moment works for many, but you have a feeling it's not doing it for you, and are rightly thinking of the next step......
I think the best person to guide you will be your dermatologist in conjunction with your insurer, as they seem to have the final say.
I'm sure that they have protocols they have to follow and you will,have to fail those before you can move on.
I was very lucky with my hospital it only took around forty years to get me on a medication that actually controls my psoriasis. I went through all treatments and had varying degrees of success, I won't say I've been covered all my life in psoriasis but it has always lurked and always came back in the winter
As I say it's no good me recommending my treatment as it's not available to you in America if it was I would recommend it highly as it is far less toxic than most treatments.
I'm sure others will be able to advise and point you in the right direction, but as I said at the start you are doing the right thing by researching now. Ready to go armed with some ideas.
