Still no sign of my prescribed Enstilar I must ring the hospital and urge it up. Although I only have a little patch in my scalp behind my ear so not particularly urgent
Lymphocyte count today was 0.97 with the normal range between 1 and 3 it's only just below the normal and previous months are
January 1.15
February 0.95
Beginning March 0.92
So it would appear that my lymphocytes are below the normal range and have been since my covid injections I don't imagine that the vaccine will have affected them but I'm putting it here as an observation. Apart from that my skin and joints are good, I'm still getting out most days for long walks taking photos weather permitting

Interesting to mention the covid vaccine Jim, I'm sure this is something that will get talked about for a long time.
Sounds like things are still going well, long may it continue.

Good to see things still on track Jim.
Have you not tried your GP for Enstilar?
My Dermy said it was easier for me to get it from them

I phoned my gp and he said he needed the hospital to tell him to prescribe it as I was under the hospitals care so in the morning I will phone the hospital and tell them what the doctor said and hopefully a prescription will come from one of them

I hate it when they bounce the ball!!! (sorry....translation of a French expression...probably not quite right) Your derm is perfectly capable of prescribing the medication.....
As for lymphocytes, mine have been low since 2018 with the exception of my last blood test in March (right after my trip to the ER) where they were normal.
I am getting my second covid shot this Friday and am due for a blood test also. Will pay attention to see if they are low again.

Thanks KatT here we call it passing the buck

Yes it would be interesting to hear if your lymphocytes are lower than normal, I look forward to hearing after your test
