No receptionist just a note to say sit and wait till called
Didn't get called to see the dermatologist till after 5pm and it was a young ( not complaining about age we all have to learn ) but she had no idea of my history and I had to tell her what I was doing she listened and was happy or at least understanding that I had increased the dose to 5 tablets a day and 2 weeks later increased to 6 a day . I explained that the previous derm said there was no problem as long as I was being monitored . I then told her on 6 a day my lymphocytes dropped in less than a month to .95 so I reduced again to 5 a day and my blood recovered quickly to lymphocytes 1.25.... she hurriedly scribbled this down and informed me she was happy for me to continue on 5 a day as my lymphocytes were now at 1.35
I told her my joints felt a lot better and as far as I could tell the current dose was containing the psoriatic arthritis
I was out in 10 minutes and just got to the pharmacy before they closed but got my pills very quickly
Oh that is a shame Jim. It's so annoying when you have a good relationship with your dermatologist and then it all goes tits up. Hopefully it's a temporary thing and will be sorted for next appointment.
