Dermo Doc Apt

Morning~

I touched on my skin issues

on my blog days ago.

I had an up coming doc 

visit with the dermo doc.

I have always dealth with skin

issues, basiscally all of my life

I learned that as a small 

toddler I had issues with 

Ecemza. 

Most times kids will 

out grow this, but you know

that with me that is not

how things went. 

It will go dormit but it 

always pops back up.

As a teen I had it on my

forearms like this.

Between my fingers, on the 

tops of my feet and between

my toes. 

After years of just mild

fareups I had it appear

right after mom went into

the hospital. I know when she

was in ICU I was using

hand sanitizer and that 

is hard on the skin.

But stress also affects it.

Treating it with over the 

counter meds just was 

not working.

Problem also comes into 

play ~ is this the ecemza or

discoid lupus which I 

developed in 2010.

Well in this case it turned out

to be the ecemaza.

I also mentioned that I 

had itchy skin and over

the yrs with the Fibro 

things have gotten 

really rough.

I did not however show

what itchy skin can cause

on that blog post.

Today I will.

This is one leg. 

 And my upper arm,

back looks just as bad.

I make sure I wear short slevees that 

are sort of long and 

I have been making sure

that the legs are covered 

when I go out. 

Answer to all this~

I need to be sure to coat

down when getting out of the 

shower with a thick lotion.

Which I do.

I also, due to the discoid

lupus, use a daily use of

sunscreen, yr round.

To help prevent this itching 

and sore forming, I have to 

take an allergy pill daily and 

benadryl at night to keep

me from doing this in my sleep.

I have cream for the sores

to help clear them up 

and to treat the ecemza. 

So...there is another way 

that Fibromyalgia affects my life.

What causes all the itching?

A misquote bite like above.

Pollen that lands on my skin.

Even just a gnat that lands on me

causes the skin to go wild.

Fibro is over active nerves

this makes for over

active skin.

Crazy.

Now to explain my visit with the

I got to my visit

about 15 mins early.

Updated paperwork 

including the pharmacy I use

with the phone number even.

40 mins past my apt time.

Once in a room the nurse

appeared fast and then the 

doc. However I felt 

rushed a bit.

Later that day I went 

by my pharmacy to get my

script. Not there, Kroger said

they had not gotten it..

I figured I would wait till 

the next day and try again.

Keeping in mind that this is 

not the first time I had this happen

with this group. Once before they

called it into the wrong Kroger, 

that also was several years ago.

I check Friday with Kroger and 

they still do not have it. I call the 

office to find out that it was called

in. I then asked where? I was told

it went to Walgreens on Lebanon Rd.

So I asked how they got Walgreens 

from me telling them Kroger in 

Hermitage on Lebanon Rd.

The chirping young thing proceeded

to tell me that she did not know, she

was not there!

I could have gone to Walgreens to

pick it up but NO, let them

fix their mistakes.

HAHA...should have done it 

myself cause upon going

to Kroger again I learn that ehy can't

fill it cause the insurance company 

says that I got it from 

Walgreens.

Kroger was to call Walgreens

and have them put it

back on the shelve letting insurance

no that I did not pick it up.

That was Friday. It is 

Sunday and I will try yet again

to pick it up.

TIME TO FIND A 

NEW DERMO DOC.

Which I looked before making

this apt. but they are the 

only office in my area (I try

to stay close to home), the only

other one is a man I saw when 

I was a teen......thinking that

maybe he might be a tad old. 

It appears that most women 

dermo docs around the house

have gone into this office.

Docs are great. Staff is normally

a young butch of ladies, and 

I just don't think they have their

shit together!

Makes me wonder if my file

says, lets just screw with this

woman everytime she comes in.

On another note....I did 

this to my leg 

yesterday while climbing over

my fence!

What was I climbing

over the fence?

I locked myself out of the 

house!

Theresa (friend) was having

new tires put on and 

could not come with my spare

(mom always kept a key for me)...

So I had to wait. To avoid

being eaten a live

by the misquote infested 

creek I decided the deck

was where I needed to be.

Thank goodness I had

not locked that door too!

I kicked back in the hammock

and waited for T!

HAHA...you folks have been

following me long enough

to know that things like

this are a given in my life.

I think I am going to start 

documenting my days just

for the fun of it.

UPDATE~

after hitting publish 

I remembered that I failed

to mention that one of the 

sores on my head, under

my hair looked bad so a 

biopsy has been done.

Update on that to follow

in a few days.
