Please say a prayer for my hubby, Steve. Sorry this is long, giving what has been going on. He has some kind of skin condition going on. It started on his feet, has spread up his body. He has gone to the clinic 3 times. Has been referred to a Dermatologist, but the soonest they can see him is the 19th.
First (middle of Oct) was said eczema, gave him a yeast infection medication and said to use Eucerin skin lotion. It got worse, feet cracked and bleeding, spreading up his legs, hiney, gentals, he went back and they prescribed the yeast medication again and a steroide cream. Pain so bad he hasn't been able to work since before Thanksgiving. Wednesday he was so bad, shaking and weak. I took him back to the clinic. I went in with him, so I could get answers. The way she was talking to him was appalling. Certainly got my hackles up and I spoke out. Hadn't done any blood work or skin scrape to find out what they were dealing with, just treating the symptoms. I went off. I said how in the hell can you prescribe any medications without finding out what the hell the problem is? He is not your lab rat. They ordered blood tests. That clinic is worthless, she wasn't even a doctor, a PA.
When we got home, I made calls and got him into a real doctor, this coming Thursday. Friday the clinic called. Said results were in, didn't tell him any of the results, said the PA wanted him to come in for a skin biopsy. He told them no, he has an appointment on Thursday with a doctor (who will be his primary care doctor).
He is on medical leave, won't get the temporary disability until he has been off for 14 work days. I had ordered some EmuaideMax (all natural oil cream). He put some on and it relieved the pain and itch. 36 hours after starting to use it, the skin started to look better. The redness (so deep red it almost looked black) is turning lighter, no new cracks or bleeding. Please say a healing prayer.Below is what his feet looked like Wednesday.
