I have insurance!

My last dermatologist freaked out on me when I told her I got clobetasol (an ointment) from my regular doctor since her appointments were so far out. She tried two other creams on me that I swear caused my psoriasis to go wild. Then she put me on the pills I'm on now. Which worked! Hooray!

However, I didn't check in with a dermatologist when we moved here because we lost insurance, so I stopped taking the pills. And it's expensive to see a dermatologist, get tests done every other week and get the pills every month.

But, with my promotion I got insurance back! Hooray! So I saw my new derm. today. I told him what I had done in the past, and that the pills worked. They had some side effects I wasn't fond of and he said we could do the same thing, and then asked if I was taking another pill with them. I wasn't. I asked if I should have been and what it was. Folic acid. He laughed "you'll be on it with me!" *shrug* Okay.

I have to go back in a month for more tests to see how I'm reacting. I'm so glad it's not every other week like with my other derm! And then he wants to see me in two months and we can talk about lowering my dosage! Hooray!
