Results from survey of psoriasis patients don't look good.

[Fred]

I don't know if the survey is biased or not,

Just to be clear. I wasn't suggesting the survey was "Biased" as the results don't benefit the company.

I was suggesting that the survey was done as a publicity stunt which would have benefited them. I'm against those that make our treatments running surveys like this or running social media websites.

You are right Sandra, not many GPs understand how psoriasis can effect ones self esteem and tend to ignore it. To them it's just a skin problem and a bit of cream will solve the problem. But as we all know, the cream does not work and some may not go back to their GP for further investigation.

I would like to see a fast track to a dermatology clinic when a person first goes to their GP with suspected psoriasis. I don't mean a top doctor as such, but someone in the dermatology department that is trained and understands how psoriasis can effect people. That person could then evaluate us and decide on the best way forward.

We all need our GP's and they do a good job, but a lot of them just don't understand the impact it has on a persons life. The sooner we get to talk to someone in dermatology the better, if not we end up for years just putting up with repeat creams from our GP and the problem gets worse.
