Hi
I had to go to the hospital today for an appointment with my Bowel consultant. That went very well and I had a very successful appointment that I came away from feeling happy and optimistic. An absolutely great consultant who actually listened and made me feel relaxed etc.
Anyway I asked him if he could give me the results of my skin biopsy, as I still have to wait another few weeks before my Dermatologists appointment. He was great and rushed off to his office to use his computer as the consultation room one was broken.
So he came back and said I have to say this quick so I don’t forget….It says Mild Peri-vascular Chronic Inflammation of Dermis.
Now, I wrote it down as he said it and just put it away until I got home! But I am now totally Peed off with this, as to clarify exactly what this is saying I looked up everything just so I could get it straight in my head! ………
It is basically saying that I have a very bad, long term skin rash! OMG! I cannot believe it! This to me is the Dermatological equivalent of IBS or the GP’s favourite telling someone they have a virus!
I think I would have more success if I banged my head against a brick wall a thousand times! It would be far less frustrating!
I really don’t know how I am going to cope with the appointment at the end of the month. Do I accept this and just carry on with my face and neck erupting into vicious looking burning sores (I wish I could work out how to post a picture to show), for the rest of my life? Could it be that the tests are totally flawed and I am being fobbed off with this ridiculous non-diagnosis?
I really don’t know what to do next, if anyone has any advice please help!
Thank you!
