Health Boards
Had a dermatology appointment yesterday afternoon , I was warned the clinic was running late
I was due to go to a carol concert after the appointment but with the clinic running an hour late I wasn't able to get a meal before the concert
Not even a bowl of soup
Anyway I got to see Dr Shah who has been seeing me for quite a while now we discussed my joint pain and he examined my fingers and toes and said there was no swelling, but he would refer me to rheumatology, so I must wait for an appointment for that now .
He was pleased with my skin and we looked at my blood test results that I had done on the Monday at my GPs results all looking good liver and kidney function normal.
LYMPHOCYTE COUNT UP TO 1.4 ( normal range between 1 and 3 ) so needless to say I was delighted
It shows our doctors and hospital are sharing information as my results were in after a day and a half after they were taken at my GPs surgery
Just going to have to wait and see if my joint stiffness and pain is psoriatic arthritis or just old age
I came away happy but hungry
