I have a bad rash on my eyes (red, swollen, itchy, flakey, burns and oozes). I ve seen two doctors about it. Both immediately said I m allergic to something but refused to write a referral to an allergist. Both commented on how difficult allergies can be to pinpoint (I though there were tests for that...but whatever. Also, glad that because something is difficult means that it shouldn t be bothered with). During my most recent visit, I m close to positive that the Doctor left the room to Google skin rashes and came back with a complicated word to diagnose me, shut me up and send me on my way. He proceeded to tell me if I break out in hives that might be reason to see an allergist. I was under the impression that hives is exactly what you d call the rash on my eyes. But apparently I m just a stupid civilian/ms. I have no idea where they get these doctors, but I know how to google things myself. So I guess I ll just be doing that in the future. Also, the pharmacy wait is unreal. Getting an appointment within a two month time frame is impossible. Be prepared to plan your year around those appointments and spend all day at the doctors office if you end up needing a prescription same day.
