Newbie with private healthcare!

[Fiftyplus]

Thanks for the fast replies! 

Sorry I meant my dermatologist is reluctant not doctor, I've sort of convinced myself that the reason he hasn't put me on humira or one of these type of treatments is the cost, hence why I thought private may be a better option.

The latest treatment I've tried was I think called puva (bathe in solution then straight onto light treatment) another waste of time. 

I have an appointment on Friday with my derm so am just going to ask for systemic treatment, which one is usually the first One to try? 

I'm guessing they wouldn't just put me straight onto the injected ones without trying others first.

Hello Lad,

You have deffo come to the best place for other options to control P...jiml and Fred are very cool and know an awful lot...looking at your post and I had that puva treatment. I felt like a leper having to bring my own towel face cloth and stuff with me to the hospital , and like you, load of rubbish.

I'm new to this site as well...and im glad I found it.

Hope to see you soon

Fifty
