My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Turnedlight]

FUUUUUUCK!!!!!

Just got back from my appt with the derm. What a disappointment. Young. Thinks she knows it all. Not listening to me or my needs or wants, whatsoever. Unfortunately, she is my last hope in this tiny burg I call home. There is another derm, but for whatever reason, he is not responding to me or my GPs request to see me. So SCREW HIM!!!

This new child that is attempting to treat me, gave me a prescription for a new topical called Duobrii (Halobetasol proprionate 0.01% w/w) and tazoratene (0.045% w/w lotion) . $260 per tube. But with a multi use card she gave me, it was free. So that's not too bad. She also loaded me with samples of tropicals to help. One has steroids in it which I told her I wanted no part of.

So all in all, after I told her 3 times I didn't want tropicals in a polite way she over ruled me saying she wanted me to try this shit for 8 weeks. I am in no mood to be a guinea pig for anybody and their best guesses. I am so tempted to just throw this shit out and wait the 8 weeks. Did I mention I hate tropicals? 

Next appointment I am going to put on my Poppa bear pants and lay into this over confident little lady and show her I am in no mood for her trial and error shit. 

Did I mention I am super pissed? Raging is more like it. I am sick and tired of the itching, the pain and embarrassment I feel. I mean I wear a navy blue uniform. I am CONSTANTLY brushing off the flakes of skin off my shirt, my shoulders and my pants so I look reasonable and professional while at work. I go through soooo many lint rollers at work because of the flakes. The never ending flakes that fall off me like Pig Pen has dirt in Charlie Brown. 

I just took some meds for when I am anxious because of my ptss. It's no longer called ptsd. It's a syndrome, not a disorder.

Anyways, thoughts on the med? Anyone hear of it before??

Cheers from an irate Wintrman,

Yup it sounds like your system is a bit like ours in that you do have to try things in order to move on.
If she’s the only one around, it might be a good idea to take a deep breath and make friends with her - you may as well..

However, can I ask are the flakes big or really tiny and do your patches look white and thick or quite red and hot to touch..
also, funny question but I’ve actually had this - did she actually inspect your skin or did she just chat to you with your clothes on?
