In other news. I've seen the dermatologist. Quick recap. Now a month ago, he prescribed me 2 nasty creams and one very nasty tablet, to be taken for 3 months.
After taking just 4, I got ill. Bad. With anxiety, and a cold, so I first thought it was just a flu. But as there wasn't a dry fiber left of my nightshirt from the fever and I couldn't even finish my peanutbutter sandwich (a sign that things are serious indeed) I decided to take a second look at the paper that comes with the medicin. Sure enough, every symptom I had was there. Went to the gp, gp told me to stop, something I already did of course, all I wanted to know was, how long til I was ok again.
That turned out to be a week. Just in time I was recovered enough to go on the holiday my friend and I had booked. And when we got back, I contacted the dermatologist.
His assistent first tried to put it like it really was just a nasty cold. When I told her that the gp could tick off all my symptoms from the list of the medicin, the dermatologist agreed with me, but was in a bit of a shock. He hadn't expected it. I told him, neither had I. A friend of mine had used a similar medicin and never had a single problem. He said, none of his patients have ever responded to the medicin as I had, not in all of his 20 years of practice. Hurrah. Fortunately he agreed that honestly I've got enough complaints as it is and I can't tell work that I'm on sick leave because of medicins. So no new pills. Good.
I then spent an evening reporting the medicin to the science board that gathers information about side effects in medicins. They appreciated it.
So there you have it. I'm rare.*)
*) I think it would be better for everyone if I were well done instead.
