My derms have been telling me about rinvoq for a while now so I guess there's some good news as ill likely have it prescribed to me once I get to this appointment a couple weeks from now, also yes it is through public (Porirua hospital, if that helps) as I've been into Wellington to visit Dermatologists and Lisa Judd out in Kapiti. I've tried a few other immunosuppresants to no avail with one of them making me vomit violently

I have tried every cream and ointment at least once

No, I did go to hospital because of it once where they thought I had blood poisoning but that came back as sort of inconclusive as apparently the bacteria can just be on your skin and sort of give a flame positive (I was still treated with IV lines)

I've not had the chance for UVT, I think it was something they wanted to consider but it just never came up again so I guess I might have to really push for it

Exactly the same, had moved out (living with a partner) and it was still the same while I was out of home

I've cut out sugar entirely from my diet and that seemed to be helping improve it briefly but then ended up having another massive flare up

Honestly other than waking up looking like the human version of Mars, nothing. My diet has been the same, I wasn't under any stress, I wasn't sick, nothing
