Ty has struggled with a extremely rare form of psoriasis. Help Ty with funding private specialists

Bay of Plenty

Back in 2014 I got misdiagnosed with all sorts of skin conditions. It is very painful and at its worst I couldn't stand up without being in chronic pain. After going to Greenlane hospital and been seen by 20 skin specialists they diagnosed me with Linear Psoriasis. It's a very rare form and there is not much known how you get it and every treatment is very experimental. Over the years I have tried all sorts of pills and injections with various side effects that has sometimes taken a toll on me and my family, it has seriously weakened my immune system over the time from taking the medication.

The last medication I was taking this time has run its course and has stopped working again.

I was due to go and see the specialist at Tauranga hospital again but got a call explaining my appointment has been cancelled and they don't know when / if I will get another one. I believe but I am unsure, that the hospital has cut the funding for dermatology department.

So now I have to go private, as I am struggling to support my family we don't have the funds to go private and the medications can cost $2000+ every 2 weeks it is not realistic for us and I need to support my family I need help to get better.

Use of funds

To assist on appointments for private consultation and privately fund medication.

New medication   30 November 2019

Just an update on how the new injections are going.

So far so good I’m not in pain anymore and it seems to be starting to thin it down still early days but I’m happy with the progress so far. I’m for ever grateful with all the help and support I’ve had.

Fingers crossed it keeps on working and getting better

Good luck with the treatment Ty, I really hope it helps you. Have you tried natural remedies there are many good ones available and the Keto diet helps skin conditions, might be worth a try.
