How do I convince my general prac. doc to give me what specialists won't? [View All]

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The eczema is too much. I can't help but to scratch. Incresingly I scratch to bleeding and it gets infected. Last month I nearly had gone to hospital because of a finger infection.

I get cysts on my head all the time because of this. Cysts that, when they burst, leave bald patches in their wake. x(

As we speak, I have THREE infected areas: Two on right leg which are bright pink, and another on my left arm - whose bright pink color is spreading down the arm. But no area is puffy and there are no red streaks... And I managed to eke out some of the pus for two of the three areas, but it might be too late...

I recently discovered that cortizone prescrip ointments and even pills can be given. Why the hell not? This is frigging agonizing.

I have an appointment with a new demotologist, but that's not until Oct-frigging-ober. The previous two weren't all that great (though I've dealt with people who are total quacks), with the second one not even giving me a chance to SPEAK. x( And our medical industry is supposed to be great, does anybody have a bridge they can sell me too? :eyes:

I have an appt with my main doc on Monday for this and another problem. How do I convince him passive-aggressively that getting the cortizone pill or whatever is worth it? Indeed, the drugs exist so why won't they prescribe them?

As it stands, I haven't a fever worth worrying over yet (98.9, my normal temp is 97.2) and I'll admit I've been feeling woozy the last couple of days (could be fatigue or the other condition I'm seeing him for tomorrow). I might just go to the UrgentCare clinic tomorrow and save the ER's high fee if nothing improves...

Thx!
