I got to see my favourite doctor who has prescribed me the brand new alternative-to-steroid creams that I mentioned. This guy is ace - there's some doctors that get so arsey if you suggest stuff to them, and maintain that as a mere patient you could never possibly have more knowledge than them, even about a condition you have suffered damn near birth. Whereas in spite of the fact that my doctor had only really heard about this stuff briefly from a rep (until recently it's just been trialed in a couple of big hospitals in London) he was quite happy to sit there and look up all the details with me, go through all the info he could find to make sure it wouldn't conflict with anything else, and then write me up a trial prescription with instructions to come back and let him know how it went so he knows whether to recommend it in future.
Now I just need to see if I can find a chemist that's heard of it...
