New here - help needed

[JohnB]

Good evening all. I had a letter today from the doctors referring me to the hospital dermatology department at last! Appointment 26th may, so a little wait.

Excellent news, and not too long to wait either (for the UK).
I would strongly suggest you read up on all the various treatments before you go and have an idea of what sort of treatment you will be happy to accept. They will want to push you down the topicals first before they contemplate UV or orals/bio's. Play on how it is affecting your life and I always find that you get better treatment if two of you go in to the appointment take a better half parent good friend, it does help. If nothing else two of you recalling the appointment gives a more rounded memory if what transpired. 
Good luck and I hope you get the UV. It can be very good. It did help me but only for a very short period of time although some people do get substantial remission. Be prepared for a wait. Our Dermy UV is not far off 6 months wait list.
