I've still yet to go see Dr. Wickless at UT-Southwestern although I really should. The spot on my lower back has grown to about the size of my whole hand. It's still thin and not too itchy but has definitely spread out. I've been under a lot of stress (both negative and positive) so I'm not too surprised about it. I've always been highly reactive to stress and usually work to not let stress get to me.
The reason I've not been to Dr. Wickless yet is related to the recent stress. We made the decision to move to Colorado and I've been job searching. It's been stressful considering that there are very few positions in the state for what I do let alone finding an available job. Despite the odds, I lucked out and was offered a position at my dream school. We'll be making the move this summer so I've decided to wait and just start seeing a doctor there, likely in Denver. I'm still researching possible doctors and I haven't gotten the details about the new health insurance yet.
I'm hopeful that once we get settled in Colorado in the next 3-4 months that the stress will come back down and the spots will go back to being dormant or at least stop growing.
Slow is the name of the game.
