When you say you no longer qualify for immune suppressant drugs, is that due to financial treatment protocol, or because the drugs have other medical risks?

In the UK NHS consultants measure an RA sufferer's DAS28 for their active disease but also you have to have tried and failed two DMARDs including Methotrexate to meet the criteria for Biologic drugs. I've tried 3 now so qualify on this front but I have no joint pain or swelling presently so don't qualify for more RA drugs. Hope this explains.
