New Rheumatologist

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to let you know that I had just gone to the ER a couple

of nights ago because of the pain and sick to my stomach. Because of

the pain, I was given two IVs, both for pain and nausea which help a

lot.

I am now seeing a Rheumatologist who is getting to the bottom of

things. She is amazing, She is close to making a diagnosis and has

been doing tests as well as X-rays and a ultra sound - which I had

yesterday. Lots of lab work. We are still waiting for the results of

that, which should be in this week.

She is also checking me for the Fibromyalgia. She also tested me for the

Lupus which came back negative which was good. Now she is trying to rule

out something new which is only something usually rheumatologist look

for when other doctors do not pick up on it. There are two different

kinds one that is more treatable and the other, which I cannot remember

the name for. But, the one that I do remember is called Scleroderma To

read more about this I would do a google search and you can read up on

it more. I fit all the symptoms.

I did not look this up until she told me what she thought I had. That

is when I started reading up on it and like I said, I cannot remember

the other one. I wish I could, so that I could read up on that one as

well. When I find out I will pass it along to you.
