My journey on furmederm starts

[jiml]

So, the saga continues....

Went to see the doctor today. Waited over an hour to see him, to be confronted with a different doctor. To say I wasn't happy was an understatement. She, the doctor there, apologised for the delay and the fact She wasn't who I was expecting to see. She asked me if I had had blood tests taken to which I said no, she said I should have had baseline bloods taken at the start of treatment, to which I replied the whole process had been a shambles and I was surprised that she even knew anything about me.

Long story, very short, I have another appointment in 4 weeks time....this time I made sure they booked it before I left, and I have to have my baseline bloods taken before this appointment.

What a nightmare this whole situation has been. NHS, I know it's free treatment, but really, they need to get their act together and sort out patient care!

Day 6, and after loads of stress today, I wouldn't be surprised if my psoriasis flared up!

Rant over......

Oh Cheryl just let it go don't be stressed about it at least you have the tablets, but what a chaotic system as you say not the best result for you. But you will know in future that you need your bloods done every four weeks. It would have been useful to know what the levels were at the outset ........... But I recon it's too late now to worry about it whats done is done ...
I find it better to be ahead of them .....and after a while you will know what's required.... And during the consultation ask for blood forms and prescriptions ask what previous bloods were so you, as well as them can keep an eye on them...
Oh well in another four weeks you may well begin to see changes hopefully.....
Good luck
