Today, 25th I went along to scheduled ENT department appointment.
I have not had to use this department for a few years now, but a reoccurring problem has returned.
I get cellullitis in my ears, thanks to Psoriatic Arthropathy.
I also have Lupus, Hughes Syndrome, Sjogrens, a slow thyroid, and
Stevens Johnson Disease.
I work very hard not to be a hospital in patient!
Being able to explain how quickly I deteriorate without regular cleaning of my ears to prevent infection getting a grip, and being heard is the main problem.
The doctor was great and did help me immensely and reschedule another visit for 6 months time.
As somebody highly allergic to most antibiotics and drugs, this is very useful to me.
Thank you guys.
My deterioration with infection of any sort or allergy is serious, so you have helped prevent an episode that can leave me disabled and ill for months xx
"Thank you ENT"
