Hi everyone. Talked to my derm today. Seems she is an understudy and can't prescribe methyltrexate. So I am being referred to the one and only derm in the city. The one who, after having my GP refer me twice already, still hasn't responded. So here is hoping that he responds this time. If not, then I am off to see a derm in Winnipeg, like it or not.
This derm intern, though just wouldn't stop hounding me about this duobrii and how great it is and how I should use it in the interim until I saw a real derm and got set up with methyltrexate. I told her 3 more times, in no uncertain terms it was a hard no. It wasn't until I started talking about the referral and interrupting another "yes, but" moment did she understand and stop harassing me about using duobrii. We ended with the agreement that she would make the referral and set me up with phototherapy. Not that phototherapy is any screaming hell of a help either. 5 months straight, every day except weekends, I was in there and it did sooo little for me. So what is the purpose of that? I dunno. I am questioning myself about the logic behind it.
Anyways...cheers!
