Coal tar treatment

[Fred]

Hey and thanks for your reply, gosh I wish I could dump the doctor I'm going to literally beg on my hands and knees if I have to to get him to refer me to a dermatologist up the hospital , I'm even considering going private, creams are so time consuming especially with 4 children. And school and nursery runs, coal tar used to work amazing for me but that was during my child hood, this flare up is pretty bad and very sore ( never have it been this sore before esp on my legs ) thanks for your advice, this is a fab forum xxx

Don't beg, Demand. You have the right to change your doctor if you're not happy and you should never back down to them they are there to treat you, don't be put off it's your body and you're in charge of it not your doctor.

Re Jim saying they may start you on Methotrexate, unfortunately this is still the usual rout. *Tip of the day for you and others who are faced with the prospect of going onto Methotrexate and you're not keen, tell them NO. (if you're not brave enough to say no tell them you are trying for a baby or you like a regular drink, they should not prescribe it then).
