I'm not concerned about doing an injection. I'm a type 1 diabetic.
Well, the derm appointment yesterday was very disappointing. They could not find my blood test results and so could not start me on any meds, although he wrote on my treatment plan he wants to start humira. but first i had to let them redraw the blood... then he did a biopsy?? the resident who did it said they were doing it to be sure it was psoriasis... what else would it be? then they stitched me shut and i'm to return in two weeks to remove the stitches, get the biopsy results and HOPEFULLY START TREATMENT.
I know the dr is being thorough, however, I was in his office last week... why did he not do a biopsy then? and how can they lose bloodwork??? at least I'm on track to get treated.. the topical steriod is helping a lot, both with the actual psoriasis and keeping down the swelling. And they gave me a HUGE tub of it, with refills. But I'm so disappointed I have to wait two more weeks. It could be worse... but never heard of a biopsy for psoriasis? And I'm still stuck on why they didn't do the biopsy when I saw him last week instead of waiting until yesterday... with no warning... ugh.
thanks for all your replies... not sure if this is "for sure" or not, but he did put down on my treatment plan that eventually he plans to start me on humira.
