I was in quite a mess, really ill. Following an initial outbreak of Eczema and Urticaria I was given creams, then steroid creams, increasing in strength over months, then prednisilone, again increasing amounts over months, I was eventually referred to West Suffolk Hospital. I was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr Ranasinghe within a few weeks. Prior to this we had moved from the northwest, to Eye in North Suffolk. We had purchased a restoration project which was suspected of potentially causing the problems. I was examined, tested, watched carefully. I was taking various prescribed medications which results proved were not necessary and so she told me to stop taking them. Seretide 500, Amlopodine, Ezeterol. I was required to have biopsies taken along with patch testing, followed by a team meeting with colleagues. Dr Ranasinghe decided to put me on Azathioprine to wean me off prednisilone. This has taken a while but was very successful, immediately relieving the symptoms and I have been clear now for a year! She is a wonderful lady, thoughtful and with a very pleasing disarming manner. She helped me feel that I was being given the best care possible and in fact I was. There have been no side effects and no noticeable damage to my skin. A really bad situation turned into a successful result. She is an expert in her field, in all respects and I will always be thankful to her for her wonderful care and attention.
