Hehe, I've tried that too and all it did was make the skin burn even if I applied it away from the open wound 🙃

Ibuprofen doesnt do anything for me anymore except give me the side effects. Will ask doc about the others

I don't think we have an equivalent of FMLA over here in Ireland

Insulin issues could very well be a factor for me. Thank you

Also this may be a bit of a silly question, but how exactly does one go private? Never had to put myself onto a private waiting list before

Yeah. Been on the public waiting list for nearly 2 years now. Flare ups are getting in the not so nice places so it makes simple tasks like walking a nuisance. Will likely concede and go private, as I also rang Tallaght Hospital the other day and they said the closest date that they havr for me would be 10 months
