I Could Have Told Them That....

So the biopsy of the blister came back.....inconclusive with possible diagnosis being eczema and psoriasis....

 

Well I could have told them that. 

 

The immuno-florescent study of the uninvolved skin has not come back yet.  The nurse said "well it says it is not diagnostic of DH"- Duh.   I told them the biopsy of the blister wouldn't diagnose DH.

Always lovely when the doctors know what they're doing.........typed with extreme sarcasm. :)
 

Hopefully the other, correct test, will come back with real information!

IKR!!   I wanted to be like, well, thanks for the waste of money....we already knew she had eczema, and if the DH test comes back positive, it probably isn't psoriasis!  I don't think it is psoriasis, but if it is, it is just another Celiac symptom......

Plus, when I google pictures of psoriasis, that is NOT what her rash looks like at all.  Once the blisters pop, dry, and then eventually peel, they kind of.....sort of...maybe look like that-  ish.....  It is a stretch.

Aggravating! Did they tell you how long it would be for the other test to come back?

 

Sometimes, it's nice to be vindicated. Other times, while it's nice to be vindicated....it is also rather bittersweet. :(

I've had my fill of doctors lately....and pharmacy people too. Heaven knows what we're going to have to go through with the people that work at CVS here when we tell them that all his medication has to be gluten free. I can picture it already....and it isn't good. :/ I really wish I could go back to my local Walgreens! Grumble...grumble....grumble!!!

Nope.  They told me their courier comes every day at 4 and to feel free to call.  The nurse said she would call me as soon as she got the results, but I called yesterday before she looked at the reports.

 

As far as pharmacies go- be prepared to have to call the medicine manufacturers and for them to give you a canned line of "we do not certify our products but can tell you there are no ingredients that naturally have gluten in them".  Pain!

Awesome. I already dislike CVS...this is only going to add to it (even though I know it isn't their fault, they drive me nuts enough to make it their fault!) wonderful.

I hope those results come in soon. That response would have driven me nuts. My offices usually tell me it should be here within so many days and if we haven't called you by this day...please call us.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.
