"Iâve had psoriasis for almost 3 years now & despite myself asking to be referred to a dermatologist several times, I am still waiting for a referral, 10 months ago I presented to a locum gp my concerns regarding the joint pain that Iâve been getting, although he was thorough & got blood work done there & then & I had to go back when I got the results that showed inflammation in my joints which he then told me was quite possibly psoriatic arthritis but we wouldnât know until I saw a rheumatologist, again Iâve not been referred & upon seeing a different gp each time Iâve been back to the surgery, apparently there is no information on my notes to say that Iâve had blood work done or the outcome of the results. Iâm completely fed up with telling them that the naproxen they keep giving me for my joint pain is not working & after reading online that if I donât get referred to a rheumatologist soon after diagnosis of Psa I can severely damage my joints, as Iâm not getting the correct medications. However when I mention this to any gp I see, they tell me I have to have blood taken to diagnose this but nothing gets done!! So Iâve given up in going to them & I will be seeking a new practice, I can never get an appointment when I need it, itâs very difficult to get through on the phone. I donât think Iâve been back since the beginning of the year & now my pain is unbearable!!"
