I was lucky to get an appointment today to see the doctor here in town that several people recommended.
I got there at 10:45 for my 11 am appointment. It took me a good 35 minutes to fill out all of the paperwork on health history and insurance information. After that I only had about a 4 minute wait until called to the back.
I really liked this doctor and the questions he asked. He couldn't believe that I had this rash still from April. I brought all of the medication that was prescribed from the Emergency Room visit and the one to Urgent Care.
He ordered blood work and prescribed an antibiotic ointment that is non-greasy! Win! He also prescribed 5 days of Prednisone. Next he recommended that I see a dermatologist and told me that a nurse would call me back with that appointment.
He took his time with me and did not rush me in and out like some doctors do these days. I think I will give him a try.
I got my medicine filled and we picked up pulled pork BQ sandwiches for lunch and headed home.
I am hoping that this medicine works. And also that I get in to the dermatologist soon!
How did your day go today?

I really hope your doctor is able to figure out what is going on. I have super sensitive skin, so when I get a rash I freak out.

Yesterday it mostly rained. I washed clothes and worked on my boyfriend's diamond painting. I have to go to the doctor Thursday to talk about doing a colonoscopy. I turned 45 in Feb. so I have to do one.

I'm not much into doctors but the sandwiches sound good
We can never get an appointment to see a doctor here unless we are under 16 or have a life shortening or life threatening condition.

It's always a bit unsettling when you have to see a new doctor but glad that your appointment went well and you liked him.

I am pleased you managed to see a Dr and i hope that the new medication works for you. We could hardly ever get an appointment at our Drs but then a big medical centre was built and four or five Drs surgeries merged. Since then getting an appointment is not a problem.

I think you have got a good doctor now and hope he will help you come round. I pray for your early recovery.
Here we had a heavy rain last night. But it did not bring the temperature down. Let me see what will happen tonight.

It's good that something is being done about your rash. It's really something to find a doctor who listens and doesn't rush you.

I enjoyed my day working at home completing surveys and sharing news events.
