Hi I am suffering for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for more than 10 years. As a result methotrexate does not work on me anymore. So I have been advised for biological injections. But, they are very expensive, and I am not that financially stable, with my husband as earning member. Are there any other medicines, any other tablets. Or is there any way I can get medi-claim help. I am 32 years old and have a family to plan and lots of other responsibilities. On the top of everything the pain is unbearable. I am also thinking of consulting Dr. Col. O.p. Garg. But, I stay in gurgaon, coming to delhi is again time taking process and money investing. So may I know about his fees. Thank you.

Hello lybrate-user. Since you have psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis, you require some systemic therapy. Biological therapy is a good option but I can understand your financial limitations so please consult a dermatologist near you and get assessed personally. A good option is apremilast which is relatively safer than methotrexate so discuss that as an option with your doctor.

Not to worry... alternate medicine available depends on the severity.....Do direct private online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.
