Doctors and beyond

So the visit to the doctors was a straightforward business. Got confirmation on what I'd pretty much guessed - that steroids don't do much good. (I'll modify that sentiment to read "on their own". Seems the psoriasis community does get through quite a lot of them). Got prescribed Dovonex, Silkis for my face and Dermol, both in a shower gel and pump bottle.

When I asked about light treatment she offered to refer me to a dermatologist but said I'd be better off going through BUPA. Turns out I'm not covered so must go back on the NHS list. Also asked about my eye and she said I'll need to see an ophthalmic surgeon but to worry about that later.
