Hi Mar,
I agree! It’s nice to have someone to talk to that understands. I don’t think anyone could fully understand unless they have been there.
I have requested more frequent check ups and they finally agreed, but after the next appointment they moved me back to 6 months and I gave up as it was so much effort to increase the frequency that in all honestly I didn’t have the energy to fight again. I shouldn’t complain with all that you have going on though.
I was told to wash with QV gentle wash and then use emollient. I was also give a steroid ointment for if I feel the itch return. I think it may have been called dermovate. My symptoms are rarely there now and when they have been, it has been mild, so I’m wondering if it was the virus.
I hope the next 2 weeks pass quickly so that you can have a plan moving forward. My next check up is in July so only 2 months now.
