Hi all, I hope there is someone here who can help me or give me guidance on where to find out the information I need. I am in my early 50's and got diagnosed with Wet MD in July this year. I had 3x4 weekly Eylea injections to which, I had a brilliant response. The 4th injection was stretched to 8 weeks but I deteriorated badly in the 6th week so am back to 4 weekly injections again and have had a laser treatment, which they are hoping will slow the growth of the capillaries. I respond well to the injections, but my consultant says that What I have is severe and aggressive as soon as the injection wears off.
So......my predicament......I live in Australia. I was born in the UK, lived there most of my life and moved out here 10yrs ago at my partner's request. We have since parted and all my friends and family are in the UK. Prior to the diagnosis of Wet MD, I had intended to return to live in the UK within the next 10 years. I had also considered moving to Spain and working in Gibraltar perhaps even sooner if I was able to get work. I'm a Registered Nurse.
My injections are covered by my private health insurance in Australia. I wouldn't be able to get cover in the UK now for a pre existing condition.......so, would I be covered under the NHS? Or how could I get the injections?

Yea, my British Passport is current. I know I could walk into a job there....the trouble is affording to do so. I have been left financially ruined by a split with my ex. I got swindled out of almost everything. However, being back with friends and family means so much more to me. If I know I can get the injections there....so many doors are open to me.....very excited!
Thank you!!
