It’s not the end of the story...

There’s some very good biologic drugs that can get you in remission and back to good health, a decade ago NHS, NICE, HSE, NCPS wouldn’t consider paying for them, even for severe cases they considered surgical removal a solution. I paid out of pocket what was basically a second mortgage for a number of years.

These days there are more than ever getting approved and they’re coming off patent. Humira, Cimzia Remicade, Entyvio... they really are life changing treatments and a good Dr should be able to get you on if you haven’t achieved a satisfactory result to other treatments.
