End of my tether

[jiml]

Hi there,
Me again, but really feel the need to moan. So still waiting on the appointment for rheumatology, still waiting for dermatology appointment. Laying in bed in pain, hands, feet, knees, neck, feel like they are on fire. Pain in all joints and psoriasis everywhere. I have never had it on my face before and now suddenly here it is! I cannot quite describe how I feel at this moment in time except to say I have had enough! I itch all over and I mean all over, my feet and ankles are covered, swollen. My hands look like I have leprosy. Right now I really don't know what to do with myself. I really don't! I can literally peel my skin off in sheets, my husband can't believe it! It is reproducing so quickly I can't keep up with it. None of my usual stuff is making a difference.
Sorry, I know all I can do is wait for appointments, but I think tonight I have reached my limit in pain, itch and actually how revolting I look!

Ooooh Sandra
What a surprise I thought you were doing well on phototherapy, why don't you turn up at A&E and tell them you're in terrible pain which you obviously are,
Or pester your doctor tell him it's urgent which it is it's the lack of action is damaging your joints..... Show your doctor how bad you are, he will have to do something to help....

Now don't shoot me down ..... I think you said on an earlier post ( unless my memory fails me and it often does) that you have resisted tablets and other medications apart from creams and UV treatment......
I really think it's time for you to consider them even methotrexate will be better than the life it sounds you are having now.

Sandra I think it's time you pushed your doctor for an urgent appointment
You should not have to suffer there are things out there that will work and give you quality life back .....
Good luck I know it's hard to be positive, but there is hope, please keep coming back if only to chat .....
