Cortisone Injection (Corticosteroid Injection)

I've had a bunch over the years. I haven't found them to be all that great.

Pictures of Poisonous Products in Your Home and How to Stay Safe

I can't even get into my package of Tide detergent pods. They're made it too hard to get into. I know not to eat them, and i have no kids around. Sigh.

That's been my experience, too.

This is my latest shocking information

Health Benefits Of Donating Blood | BRMS

Blood donation is really good for the person donating. And 1. they test your blood for like 10 different issues for free (that your doctor doesn't test) and 2. if you donate to research they will pay you.

I have concerns about my skin. I baked myself in the sun from the time I was a child until I was in my 20's. I had so many blistering sunburns I couldn't possibly count them (I am fair-skinned with green eyes). Whenever I have pointed out something of concern on my skin my GP totally blows me off. I would like to get checked out by a dermatologist, but I need a referral from my GP. The situation is awkward at best, dangerous at worst. I really don't know what to do.

A nurse friend told me they are having a ton of success with immunotherapy for melanoma.

Not to freak everyone out but I did want to mention that something you should check for is under your toes. Yes you can get it there and it doesn't look like a mole, it looks like a bruise. A couple of years back I had to have my nail ripped off (wasn't that painful and shockingly grew back fast) and a biopsy done because a great nurse noticed it. Alas, turned out to be a bruise (because my shoes were too tight).

I would call the insurance company. They should be able to provide you with a dermatologist. I'm also fair-skinned, and I've had some pre-cancerous lesions on my face removed by dermatologists.
