Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Okay, here goes. Yesterday late afternoon I got a call from my retarded rheumys office. My last blood work came back fine again, big surprise right! They said that there really wasn't anything he could do since the blood work doesn't show anything. I live 2 1/2 hours away from their office and they said, " well, when you have the rash again come in to the office and we'll take a piece of the skin and biopsy it. " I said that I live 2 1/2 hours away and the rash doesn't always last that long. I also asked for a referral to from Branson's rheumy because he has experience with Still's and might be able to help. I also said that a lot of people I'm in group with waited for years before they got a definite dx and I have almost every symptom that they have (you guys, my second family). The rheumy's office said that they wouldn't explore that option as a possibility until after they have a chance to do a biopsy. I told the lady that I'm not crazy and just making up how I feel everyday, it can't just be nothing. I am starting to wonder if it is all in my head though. I am sooooo sad, I don't know what to think and I am having really negative feelings toward my rheumy. He is ignorant on Still's and won't send me to someone who might know what the heck it is!!! I told my hubby that I don't care if I have to pay out of pocket to get ea dx, I'll do it. I don't know what to do, I give up. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
