Thank you for the replies, I will have a look at the links provided.
Are Stelara and Fumaderm available in the UK?
My partners dermatologist seems okay, I've only met him once. Sometimes I think his care is inconsistent as he has had to see different Doctors when his main one isn't available. I think it would be hard to judge if the psoriasis is getting any worse or improving.
The methotrexate did work for a while, but then it returned and along with the side effects my Fiancé was feeling worse than before the mxt.
I don't really want to direct him to this forum. I've suggested support groups before just to be able to confide in others feeling exactly the way he does but he's not comfortable with that.
I will look at these other treatments suggested and mention these to him.
If he doesn't help himself I don't know how I'm meant to.
I suffered from an illness myself not so long ago. I took help and support of others but it was still down to me to get better and find a way. Which I did for my family as well as myself. It was very difficult times but I knew it was the only way.
Inside I want to say to him that this condition he has could be life long. It's all in the management. To find something that works for him. And not to give up. I asked him what he would say to our children if they were suffering with the same illness as him. Would he let them give up?
But he just gets annoyed with me. And shouts and swears. He cuts me off. He looses patience with me and our little ones.
It's not our fault, he won't let me help and he won't help himself.
I'm running out of puff with all this :(
