Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 My thoughts are with you today, Vicki. I don't have a sister living in a larger city. You probably don't remember, but the very first doctor I saw after my " recent " symptoms began 2 and a half years ago (when I was pretty sure it was a PM flare) was a neuromuscular specialist at Albany Med, a very good teaching hospital. That's where I was DX with PM years ago. This doctor is very good, gave me an excellent exam, has experience with myo, and came to the conclusion I did not have active muscle disease at that time. He treated me with respect and suggested I find a good internist or rheumatologist for follow-up, as he said the problems I was having were not normal and I should have follow-up. I see no point in going back to him or a rheumatologist affiliated with Albany Med ( the one rheumy I did see in Albany several months later is well-known by this neuro and does have ties to Albany Med as well.) This was early winter 2000/2001. Sue, glad to have you back with us. I was wondering where you'd gone! Hope the IVIG does something for you. Zanna, enjoy the visit with your parents, and hope you all recover from your colds ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
