Hi Fred and Jim.
I have printed off the N.I.C.E. Guidlines (thank you Jim for pointing in the right direction) I will be taking them with me tomorrow. I have been seeing a new G.P. In the practice and he appears to be more up to date in his practice and treatment options.
I do believe up until now they have all looked at it as a skin issue and not anything to do with the immune system.
I cannot agree more, that the advice and support that this forum offers is second to none. The information it provides is huge and based on up to date research and fact. These last few months have been the most difficult that I have faced, the psoriasis has spread onto my arms, shoulders and back. On one particular night ( early hours of the morning) I reached out on this forum as I was literally at the end of my tether. Jim and others responded and got me through and gave me the confidence to go back to the G.p. the very next morning. Because of the advice given and seeing a new g.p. Who at least dealt with itch and finally figured out the infection, things are 40-50% improved.
I am determined that I will not be rushed tomorrow and I will be listened to.
I shall give you all an update tomorrow.
Sandra
