Humira abraod

[tharley]

Hi. I've been on humira for about a year now. Touch wood it has been working a treat.
I live near Manchester, England and I am thinking of going to work abroad, somewhere in Europe (Madrid, Brussels, Berlin)
Does anybody have any idea about how to go about sorting out my treatment abroad? Does the NHS still prescribe the drug, or does it need to be done privately?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom.

Hi Tom! Have you discussed this with your doctor? I'm not from England so I don't know how the NHS works, but I would maybe start there first?

I spoke to my doctor yesterday and although Humira is available all over the world, she was unable to inform me about the steps I need to take. She suggested searching the forums and looking on the NACC website. I've emailed a few different people about it.
Thanks!
