This is two weeks after getting rid of the topicort. I am much better, but the itching is almost unbearable. And I am now very sun sensitive. Sunshine makes it worse. And nothing touches this mess except Noxzema cream. It helps with the itching and keeps it clean at the same time. This is not a plug for Noxzema. I am just stating a fact and thank goodness for Noxzema. I don't think I could stand it otherwise. Some spots are still oozing, but it is 100% better. I think, if I had stuck with the doctors, they would have killed me. And I started calling the dermatologist on Tuesday after beginning the Topicort on Monday. I told the nurse that it was not working and was in fact making it worse. She called me back and said the doctor said to use it 4 times a day instead of two. By Wednesday, I was having real trouble breathing and had started with the bloating. I called again. ":Look, this is making it worse." No call back. So on Thursday I called my doctor and told the nurse I needed to see him. I got an appointment for Friday. Then on Thursday afternoon, I got in real trouble. I had blown up by 10 pounds and could not breathe. I sat straight up in a chair all night and did not know if I would see morning. I was afraid to go to the ER. I was afraid of what they would do to me. On Friday morning, my doctor's office called and told me that "The doctor says that he can't do anything for you so you don't need to come in." Friday afternoon I finally got a call back from the dermatologist. He wanted me to come in on Monday to get a prescription for Prednesone. I could have been dead by Monday. I went on Monday and got a statement that I could go back to work and nothing else. I'm finding new docs. Actually, I wish I could just visit a nurse because the nurses know more than the doctors. The doctors just take whatever poisons big Pharma gives them and passes them on to the patient. They don't even bother to pass along the bad things that can happen nor do they bother to monitor you. I'm done.
