So we had an amazing vacation. When I have a moment I'll upload some very inticing pictures. And while the beginning of the week started off pretty well I gained back some of the weight I had lost. (At someone point I was tired of giving my husband more than 1/2 of the yumminess.)
The day or two before we left I noticed this little bump on the inside of my right thigh. I thought maybe it was just irritation from the gym shorts I had on. Until it started to spread. And itch like crazy. And on vacation it got worse. So I came home and had to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
I have seen two dermatologists in the past. The one office is now gone and the other guy I didn't care for. I saw them for an allergic reaction to fake nails and can no longer wear nail polish on my hands. So imagine my dissapointment when the highly recommended dermatologist didn't take my insurance plan...So I had to go searching for someone in network.
Now some might say I'm jumping the gun that my primary doctor could treat me. Yes she could treat me but I want this biopsied. If it is the Cutaneous Sarcoidosis that I suspect it is I want to know for sure. Additionally, we have a family history of skin cancer and I want to make sure that I'm watching that carefully.
I put in my search parameters - 5 miles Nada. 10 miles - 4 doctors. The guy I didn't like the guy who has no degree information listed and 2 other doctors. I call the first one because their office is listed around the corner from where I work and he's on staff at the hospital I go to. Girl #1 answers - Oh I don't know if he treats that let me transfer you. Girl#2 - yes he treats that but I don't know when he'll be in that office. Girl#3 - Umm we can see you Dec 1st but why didn't Girl#1 make the appointment?? He's there every other week otherwise you can drive an hour to come see us. Ok fine. He is a specialist I expect a wait. You know because the Botox is really important to some people and a potential autoimmune lesion should go 3 weeks without treatment.
I'm sorry thats not the response we were looking for.
So I googled the other doctor. Umm HELLOOO Gorgeous People. It appears to be a husband and wife practice and they could be in an Italian Fashion house Ad. I admit I rolled my eyes. So I call not expecting anything better. Girl#1 answers. Answers all my questions. Yes he sees these symptoms frequently. Yes we take your insurance. (Wait you aren't going to transfer me???)
How soon could I be seen?
DAILY DOUBLE!!! Doo do doo do do doo do (You know the theme song)
How is this Thursday 3:30PM?
Who is my new Dermatologist!!
