Good to hear it's still doing it's thing Jim and giving you no problems.

I'm not sure if phone consultations will become the norm in future, maybe for those of us that know what we are doing with our treatment. But I hope not the norm for those newly diagnosed as they need much more attention to try and get it right in the early days.

Thannks Fred yep it's still working it's magic 

I think phone or video consultations will become normal for routine matters like mine and yours where it's just to really renew a prescription and ask if there are any problems ... I think and hope they will offer a video consultation and only see people that need to be seen ...that should reduce waiting times for urgent cases ( or am I being too optimistic  )

I can't remember the last time a dermatologist looked at my skin so I won't be getting my kit off on video
But our hospital has a video service now and Mrs Jim is due a clinic meeting next week with the kidney specialist and I would rather do that than go into a hospital at the moment

I get it with Mrs Jim, but with my dermatologist she always wants to see how my skin is looking so it's down to my undies. She sometimes wants to look a little further at my groin and bum crack, and to be honest I think someone treating my skin should see as much of it as they want. She has asked before how my genital area is and I wouldn't have a problem showing her if I had a problem, but I'm not getting my equipment out on the internet.

Well phoned the hospital again for an appointment saying I would be happy with a telephone consultation as as far as I can tell my bloods are good and I have no issues at the moment and all I need to see them for was a prescription for more Skilarence tablets. The receptionist said they still aren't doing routine appointments. But would speak to the dermatologist
and today a supply of skilarence was delivered by courier I now have enough tablets for the next four months and assume they will get in touch when they resume appointments

That's good!  Pretty efficient too!
