I had a RA doctor that well was like what yours wrote the letter not knowing

what if anything more he could offer or do. This was about the time my other

doctors (GP and oncologist / hematologist) we telling me to go see some one at

the Mayo or Stanford. Well that is what I did .I went to Stanford as I had

family (mom) in the area I could stay with. In the end it was the best chouse I

have made to date in my battle with stills. I can say I have had many good bad

and so so doctors along the way now but that trip was were I was DX with stills

after driving all my doctors and the specialist they had sent me to in Boise

Idaho crazy as all they came up with is I do not know. now Boise Idaho is the

major medical center not only for most of Idaho but all of eastern Oregon

northern Nevada south west Washington and even north eastern Calif. yes they

are not just a small town hospital or medical center but a very progressive

medical center with two Major

competing hospitals that include major cancer life flight and trauma centers.

So I know I was well supplied were I was.  Yet even with my DX my RA doctor at

the time did not want to accept the DX and never really did. I have had that

same problem here now in Califalso with privet RA's and also with Kaiser

medical RA doctors in two major cities. At lest one of them after calling the DX

doctor came around but others never did. The one I have now not only says still

and treats for it but works part time with and for SSI. And is a major supporter

for RA mags and also is a contributor now and then, so what am I saying well

maybe you might want to think about a trip to a RA doctor with all your records

to date and see what they say! May be you could before getting there have them

look over your records first. I know the SSDI RA doctor never saw me but only my

records and he came out so strong for me but in reading his letter to SSDI I

cried as he made it

should like I was one lucky man to even be able to move or hold any thing ..

yes all on my records and stronger them my own RA treating doctor who refused to

say I had stills and would only treat me as if I had fibro at first then later

as gout and RA after the SSDI Ra’s letter and SSDI ruling for my okay on

disability.

sorry this got longer then I thought it would but I wanted to really say even

with you being in the medical field maybe it is time to try some thing new and

some other place to get the help you need

 So tell good luck and hugs
