Well I doubt there is going to be much to update here, at least not until the end of the month.
Oh, the nurse DID remind me why we aren't trying a TNF inhibitor. There is some concern if you have heart issues, mostly congestive heart failure which I do not have. However I have had some issues of concern (high blood pressure, heart murmur, irregular heartbeat) so I said that I would prefer to talk it over with my primary and/or heart doctor before trying one of those so the dermatologist ruled them out. But that could change if that's the direction we eventually need to go, I would just need to get reassurance from my primary that there isn't a reason I shouldn't use them.
Anyway, had treatment again today but it's early yet. I will let you all know when/IF I notice an improvement. I will say that an area above my ear has really been bothering me and I made certain to point it out. So it got "laser zapped"
