Good morning and welcome to the forum Jamie ,we are a happy band of inmates and we all know what the problems are with P/PsA so you know you are talking to people who have the experience of the problem not health staff who only think they know what it's all about. Fred has made this site fantastic with probably more information on our P/PsA problems than anywhere else in the UK.
You need to put your case strongly to your derm that you need something positive to happen not just sodding about with creams etc.
The thing you need to take into consideration when looking on the site is that what works for one does not necessarily work for another, we are all different and our reactions are different so don't get worried when what you are doing works for someone but it's not doing the same for you.
Next time you have an appointment you need to really cover all your problems, how it's effecting your life and insist that something is done, they are all on the money saving kick at the moment and you need to give them some stick.
Going private may be a good way around it but you should not need to do this at all, it should be covered on the NHS and you are entitled to good healthcare so have a good look around on here and I would go back to him with a list of possible treatments. It sounds like you have quite a lot of the P and I cannot understand why they are still messing about with PUVA etc apart from the cost aspect , I see you are in UK and from your reference to Yorkshire can I assume that you live in gods own county .
Take care and any questions just ask away we are all on here to help one another.
