Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I get a full workup of blood series every 2 weeks. I am actually very fortunate. My Reaumatoligist is actually one of the few in the South East that has dealt a lot with JRA and Stills Disease. He is actually about 2 hours from where I live and very hard to get into. My Uncle though is a Doctor and they happen to be friends. So I was very fortunate to get a Reaumatoligist that has worked a lot with JRA and Stills, I trust him impecably. He actually listens to what I have to say and understands. Then I am also fortunate because my mother is a Family Nurse Practitioner, which is basically the same thing as a Doctor. They do the same thing. She and My uncle are in practice together. So medically I have all the backup in the world. They (my uncle and mother) are having a hard time understanding what is happening to me, but they know it is not in my head. And they are there for me. So needless to say, I find out about my meds in debth. And my blood work for my kidneys, liver and everything else is watched very closely. My primary care physician has been great too. He also has dealt with a few Stills disease cases so I did not have to explain to him what it was like I do the ER doctors. Thanks for the concern. Right now worry about what we can do for you. We want to see you get through everything. Take Care Danni. Burr --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em. Make PC-to-phone calls as low as 1¢/min with Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
