Hi Darren

Firstly I didn’t know this community existed even until for some reason I got alerted to your post. I am in the liver and diabetes communities but do also suffer from the dreaded psoriasis ☹️👎🏻.

So, firstly I did not know you could get injections for psoriasis, but it seems from what you say, that the effects are remarkable. So, they have to tell you why they are stopping you having more injections! Is it cost, long term effects on your health or what?? You should find that out so you can see if you can challenge the decision - if it is a sensible thing to do. I am not the sort of person to challenge things I can tell you! But, if

I don’t agree with something where it may be an invalid reason then you, and I, would or should do so.....

Good luck!

PS I am extremely lucky because I had a liver transplant and whatever drugs I am now on have virtually cleared up my psoriasis. I have yet to find out which tablets are doing it lol.

Hiya ,that's great news about your transplant mate ,hope you find out what pills they are soon , yea the injection is called stellara ,it's an amazing thing the injection is every 12weeks but now I'm overdue by a month , I tried calling hospital yesterday to see what going on and nobody knows anything , that's Bupa , dermatology and rhumatoid deps at hospital ,they said I will get phone call today ,but not relying on them tbh ,,,
