So there I was, back in December I found I had a rash. The kind of rash that would really restrict your social calendar. The kind that’s going to make beach season awkward. Well, fortunately for me December was months and months away from beach season. Unfortunately I needed to depend on the VA for care. I needed an initial appointment to get a primary care provider. 4 months to wait for that and even then she didn’t want to look at my rash, I would need a separate appointment. Fine, I make one. 6 weeks later I’m getting pictures taken to send to a dermatologist and 8 weeks later here I am, finally getting treatment from a dermatologist on July 30. It’s been a long road, but here I am.
