St. Thomas' have been wonderful for me they really listened to me and spoke to me not at me it made such a welcome change from a lot of docs I have seen over the years. I haven't worn a skirt for ages either.....I'm so photosensitive I am wrapped up in gloves, scarf, long sleeved top and long trousers and a factor 50 cream on any bits of skin that are not covered. I sincerely hope you get on well and have as much help from them as I have - and are not as photosensitive as me if you want to get back into skirts.
