Wonder if I’d have had the same treatment if I’d been a Duke.

I had my long awaited dermatologist appointment today and I’m non the wiser about my condition. I have felt that, for a week or two now, I suffered a reaction to my first jab but was given no indicators by the ‘experts’. Was really quite a waste of time. I was told to do what I already knew about preventative measures (that is slap on plenty of moisturiser). A DOPPLER test was recommended but that had already been put forward. All in all...status quo.

Thanks P...As I’ve previously stated, I’m almost totally convinced that it’s a jab reaction that I’m suffering from but because the rash that developed was in close proximity to my leg discolouration, I thought my condition was worsening. Now I’m feeling that’s it’s a separate entity and my morale is very much lifted. XX. Take care.

As always, it depends on who you get. I've seen three or four dermatologists over the years, and can only remember one who was very good and gave me both information and confidence. One was absolutely hopeless; disinterested and disgruntled and almost silent.

Hey Mom...you must have had my dermatologist’s cousin. We all know that the NHS is stretched but it’s pointless going to see the “experts” if you don’t get results/satisfaction.

"Mom" Interesting. I've named myself as a follower of the Greek God Momer (hence momist), as I share some of his characteristics.

Ahh right...Interestingly, they say that Momer suffered with Afib‼️‼️

Where did you find that?! The last time I looked (several years ago) there was very little to be found about Momer on the 'net. I gleaned only that he was thrown off Olympus because he could not tolerate the "childish" tricks that Zeus and his cohort were indulging in with humanity. He is reputed to not tolerate fools, and always speak his mind, and therefore became very unpopular. I can't even find that reference today, and I've tried several search engines.

☹️

Aye...I’ve got good reliable sources of information about Greek Gods but I like to keep it confidential. “Momers the word” as they say.
