Ever since snuggles with Cricket ive been having an eczema flare up about my chest, torso, and shoulders. Ive rehomed Cricket but the eczema persists. There is a prescription cream that works. My coworker gave me a bit of his to try but once i realized it worked i had to then call my doctor and ask her for some of my own. The receptionist let me know that it was not going to be as easy as me just phoning in and asking, “hey could you prescribe me some of this eczema cream?” First i had to prove i did indeed have eczema which meant we had to spend money out the wazoo on tests and labs to rule out everything else under the sun. I decided they could keep their cream and i’d just deal with the itching. Honestly, compared to endometriosis its not that bad. The running theme here is that they’d like to test me for everything under the sun but they dont actually want to help me. How do i know i have eczema? Well, many reasons, but lets start with the fact that the eczema cream worked…. Process of elimination people…just act as if im penniless and you’re a “think smart not hard” kind of detective.
