Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I had an appt. to day w/ my Rhuemy to get my stitches out... All is good there... I took a note book full of questions, but the doctor kept cutting me off... He seemed agitated that I was asking questions... When I asked him what type of psoriasis I have he told me it was pustulants (something like that) I looked it up on the computor and my rash looked nothing like like that what so ever... My rash looks like gutte psoriasis, almost like chicken pox. Does he even know what he is talking about? When I asked him about getting pain medication, because it hurts to even hold a pen, he said that he was putting me back on a week of storoids to make the planqunile work quicker... I asked him about a specific area where I am mostly swelling in my hands and on the tops of my feet, and he just answered that its arthritis.... Gee..... Duh! I wanted to know why in those areas so that I could understand better. When I explained that the biopsy showd my rash as being psoriasis, and asked if he had any more answers as too my other symptoms, he stated that it could be Psoriatic Arthritis and said the steroids will help.. I feel I really got shafted today! As well as the run around... I cried the whole way home and I dont' know what to do.... I can't keep getting second opinions until I find someone I like.... The Ins. would flip! What am I suppose to do? Very depressed Bonnie All of this crap and I have final papers and finals due next week...AHHHH!
