Hello Naillij to Psoriasis Club.

I would try for the Medical Card as the treatments that do work are expensive, the bio's for example can be well over €10000 per year. So you will be paying the €144 per month if you don't get one.

You probably know more about it than me but as you mentioned you may not be successful, I looked into it a bit. I found that it is means tested, and it does mention

If your income is over these limits, you can still apply for the medical card on hardship grounds: for example, if you have high medical expenses or your income is only slightly over the limit.

I wish you luck with it and please do let us know how it goes as we have another member in the same situation RE: Should I come off Fumaderm?

The information that Quest4Cure mentioned about coupons and discounts from pharma companies, I don't think apply in Ireland as they have a different system in the USA.

Hi Fred.. Not all Pharmaceutical Companies are located in the US. There are many around the world that offer patient support for their products. Especially bio drugs. A little research it's all on line . I probable could have been more detailed in my answer. There's is a compounding Co. in Canada that specializes in meds for auto immune diseases.

Have a good day!
