LOL That'd be right, but Trump isn't as popular here as he is there. Noted the hospital sends their samples to the same Pathology people my medical center sends theirs too, so you know private people take time.
Anyway the itch has improved and am sure after a few days treatment it will get even less.
Off to walk now. First long one since getting back from Canada. Not easy to start again. Be good.
Update: The Diprosone -- Eleuphrat and Diprosone are brand names for topical medications containing the active ingredient betamethasone dipropionate, which is a corticosteroid used to treat skin conditions. They are essentially the same medication, with both being classified as high-potency topical corticosteroids. Eleuphrat is available as both a cream and an ointment, while Diprosone is available as a cream, lotion, and ointment .. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=eleuphrat+..+diprisone https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=176558028 .. prescription, for me Eleuphrat, each is 8 tubes with 5 repeats, So if all filled and used would be LOL 40 tubes. When i said to the dr. i'd need a bit for whole body, didn't expect that much. Each filled order of 8 tubes costs, as a pensioner, $7.70. A friend with lymphoma in remission, gets his scripts filled for $6.90 each, at a different chemist.
The relatively low cost for us is all part of Australia's PBS your big pharma and Trump see as unfair. It has it's problems as all private or public services have, but still is one of the worldwide best:
They’ve criticised our PBS for allowing generic medicines to compete in the market; for freeloading by contributing insufficiently to the cost of their research and innovation; and for taking years to approve new medicines and creating a backlog of approvals. P - These critics, it should be said, pay very little tax in Australia, and often almost no tax in the US, having set up their production lines offshore. P - The Australian government has rightly defended the PBS, but our approval bodies would benefit by avoiding criticism for being slow and administratively burdensome. https://www.afr.com/policy/health-and-education/trump-s-trade-war-is-not-the-only-threat-to-cheap-pbs-medicines-20250810-p5mloz
On the tests Dermatology asked the outside Pathology people to do: Full blood count, one on liver and kidney and one re an autoimmune disease protein:
Envoplakin antibodies are proteins that bind to the envoplakin protein, a component of the desmosomal plaque in cells, particularly keratinocytes. They are of interest in both research and diagnostics, specifically in the context of autoimmune diseases. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=envoplakin+antibodies+
The hospital will have results in three day. Sooooo, why my appointment not until the 25th? I'm thinking basically two possible reasons, that they are so busy that's the first opening. Two, they allow that time to see if the treatment they have set so far is working. That feels to me the most likely and perfectly reasonable. This morning the overly pink on the legs and feet is almost gone. I've done that bottom today. Waist up some color and some itch still there, will do my bit on that as soon as i do this.
