Had made the appt this past Fri when I was feeling poorly - ended up in the bathroom Fri evening probably 5-6 times at least with D.....then Sat, NOTHING....didn't eat a whole lot either, and did spend about 4 hours in the truck driving (to horse show).....

Sunday, no problems in the AM.......a small BM in the evening after I got home - 1 more today - still not todally normal, but at least no cramping!

Saw the clinic at the hosp this morning - came home with the supplies for a sample - the nurse practicioner that I saw was very nice, really took her time talking to me and about possible ways to look at this - as either a possible flare starting, or related to the rash/psoriasis I've developed...etc....she did listen to my belly and said it was quiet.......to top it off right now I'm stinky! lol.....my husband is NOT loving that part!

So - still playing the waiting game - to see what the skin biopsies come back as and what the dermatologist wants to do - that may be preednisone to get the skin under control, which would help with the bowel symptoms.....

Then, to top it off, I found out that the infusion clinic I go to is 'closing' - the NP has apparently left (she didn't say anything when I talked to her Fri!)......so now the infusion patients are going over to the dialysis clinic.....same facility, just different location - hope they have a TV! Maybe I'll bring my laptop and a movie or two just in case!

Should I start humming the tune to Jeopardy???.....waiting game.........sigh......itch, itch, itch......
 
Not a very good week for you, but hang in there, nothing goes bad forever.

Psoriasis is a tough nut to crack. The only thing I have found that helps it is sun exposure. For some reason while in Florida, and exposed to the strong sunlight on the beach, my Psoriasis is almost gone. It may not stay that way, but it was an interesting effect.

Let us know what the Derma has to say.

Good Luck
