Hello Everyone,
A little about myself. I am an active duty E6 in the Navy and been in a little over 7 years. I was diagnosed with psoriasis in Mar 2016 at the Naval Hospital and prescribed Otezla with cleared my psoriasis up about 80 percent. I currently am on recruiting duty now and only go to a civilian dermatologist because there aren't any bases close at all. Tricare select wouldn't pay for Otezla and I was was put on Humira and have been on it almost a year (cleared up 100%). From what I've read, I gather that humira kicks off a MEB from PCM recommendation. With me having a civilian doctor, that isn't an option and I'm trying to see what my options are and what I need to do. My EAOS is 09AUG2019 and I will be up for orders back to sea duty. I don't really want to get off the Humira because its been really good for me. Can I reenlist while on Humira, will my sea duty screening get denied, or should I just get out and collect a little disability. Any help or info with someone in/ or has been in asimilar scenario is really appreciated because no one in my command has solid answers or tells me to make a appointment at a military hospital because I'm probably non-deployable. Thanks in advance!
