I could use your prayers. I suffer from atopic dermatitis and it’s gotten worse with age. I wanted to try methotexate but the dermatologist was going to make me take contraception because it can cause birth defects and bad pregnancies.
Of course this was not an option for me, so I opted for light treatment instead and am being referred to a hospital closer. I don’t know why I had not heard from my local GP for almost a month in about this until now, but they texted me wanting to talk on the phone on Wednesday.
This all has just been so frustrating. My last visit with my derm was extremely distressful so I suppose that’s why I’m feeling distress about this as well. Honestly I wish menopause would come so I could go on a biologic without them sticking their noses into all of my business and making me use something I don’t want to. I know they are doing their jobs they have to cover precautions but this whole situation right now means that I just have to keep suffering and I’m tired of it.
I am just feeling very depressed. The summers are less of a problem but the winters are a big problem. Please don’t contact me about “help” or “cures” that work for your sister’s husband’s boss and you think it would work for me. I’ve been through it all. I just need your prayers.
I’m hoping that maybe the local GP might be offering further information about the local referral and light treatment. But I usually receive information about that in the post. (I’m in the UK).
I know the spiritual element about how to deal with suffering but I am just a “human bean” and I don’t have the faith of the saints. This really affects my mental health and furthermore, my quality of life. Just please keep me and this situation in your prayers.
