[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biologics are hard to get for ulcerative colitis and other really serious diseases. I'm sorry your father is going through that, but it's extremely unlikely you'll get coverage for mild itching for something that costs thousands of dollars a month. Has he had allergy testing? Are there other medications he could try? Has he tried switching soap, laundry detergent, and any lotion he uses to something hypoallergenic? [/quote] He has tried ALL the things. I have several skin disorders so I’m very familiar with these treatments (and it’s usually the same type of drugs for all conditions). He has changed all his soap, lotions, laundry. He has UV therapy. A bunch of steroids and the immune suppressant tacrolimus topical. Nothing has helped. They really don’t give it for UC? That is insane. The drugs cost thousands list price, but voila if you buy cash without insurance a magic coupon appears that brings it down to hundreds of dollars. [/quote]
