I've had a better one recommended (his name is just underneath my derm in the building's directory!) and will perhaps bug my GP for a referral. Seriously though, even if I get another diagnosis it's not going to make any difference in my treatment. Nearly everything that could be tried has been and the other options are unacceptable - to me if not the derm - as too risky or too unlikely to help. It's not like they even know the exact cause or why certain meds work or not. I'm probably as informed as anyone without a medical license! We'll just see what happens. Maybe it'll go away by itself the same way it appeared? You never know!

I should grow some woad myself! <br />You know, you should seriously think about seeing another Dermatologist & get that biopsy. Maybe UBC will recommend someone with an open mind?? Or try an Herbalist? Sometimes you just have to hunt for someone - I remember seeing doctor after doctor in my 20s to find one that would even discuss a problem I had. One even told me I wasn't getting enough sex! I raised hell with my doctor about that one. But, I hung in there & eventually found someone just down the road.Sharon in Surreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864797100804511728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-9550533250490991032010-09-09T08:10:11.303-07:002010-09-09T08:10:11.303-07:00Thanks, Evelyn! Yes, I got the Chinese woad seeds ...Thanks, Evelyn! Yes, I got the Chinese woad seeds from Richter's in Ontario. I'm not happy with the germination rate (only about 1/4 of them came up) which is why I'm hoping to produce some seeds of my own next spring. I'll share with you if you want some. Though it will be too late to plant in 2011, you'll be ready for 2012! The plants are not nearly as durable as regular woad so first we'll see how it makes it through our relatively mild Zone 8 winter.Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-39682779070604618522010-09-08T18:53:56.139-07:002010-09-08T18:53:56.139-07:00The woad colours look wonderful!
