Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thank you . I really think it is wishful thinking. He tends to adjust reality to what will work best for him! He spent years after being diagnosed in denial...I think he may have reverted back. Also, he has this idea that he has had such a rough time behaving and wearing sunscreen that he can not wear it and be " just as sick " . I know - it doesn't make logical sense...but that is my Dad! I truly despise his Rheumy....but I'm thinking of calling her anyway. My doc is hounding me to see a Rheumy (as I've been avoiding seeing one for a while since " she " is the only one in the area) so maybe I will make an appt. if for nothing else to talk to her about Dad. He is a royal pain in the the behind - *grins* but he's the only Daddy I have! LOL Thanks for your (and others') response!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Sounds like a trip to the rheumy is in order. Your dad is off in his own world somewhere pretending he's immune to auto-immunity. But as you say, he's your dad, and the only one you have. Denial is POWERFUL, as you well know. Hope you get an app't soon. Let us know how it goes. Love, C.
