I Saw Dr. Pimple Popper!

OK, a lot of you wanted to know how my appt went w/ her, so I said I'd start a thread. I saw her for the very first time the other day after a 3.5-month long wait for an appt which is understandable that she's that backed up & she was very lovely & kind. She's not an HS specialist as we know, but I knew she'd guide me to the right help & she did.

She recommended biologics (Humira, Cosentyx, & the other latest one I guess it was). I've never taken any of them. I told her I'm concerned about side effects so the best recommendation for me she said is Cosentyx, which the ball got rolling to see that my insurance covers it. (That doesn't mean I have to use it.) She also mentioned deroofing surgery.

She told me about an HS specialist to make an appt w/, but she said she will still work w/ me along the way & wants to see me in a month or two. The HS specialist is quite backed up too, but I made the soonest appt for now (mid-Feb) & can keep calling to see if there are any cancellations.

So, nothing was prescribed to me just yet. There was an oral antibiotic that I had taken before that she was going to prescribe, but I told her that didn't do anything for me.

The office & staff are very, very nice. Things worked very efficiently in the office too. If only ALL doctors' offices worked like that!

I actually didn't get to talk to her about all I wanted to talk to her about, but hopefully next time around. The main stuff was talked about for sure (OR maybe I talk to the HS specialist about that).
