aFTER READING JUST HOW MANY TIMES EVERYONE SEES THEIR rHEUMY. I FEEL EITHER VERY LUCKY OR THEY THINK SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG. I STILL HAVE YET TO FILL YOU ALL IN.. I WILL THIS WEEK-END. BUSY BEE

Rheumy where art thou?

I see mine about every 3 months. I have to get my blood tested before I go. I see my eye Dr. twice a year. I see my internist a lot more. I only have to see my oncologist once a year now starting with the last visit a couple of months ago. Yaaa!

You said you see your Rheumy every month ,and have blood work done every month......Debi also sees her Doc. every month.

I would be interested to know how often others in the group see their Doctors regularly........I plan to interview Any new Doctor I get......As you said ,(I am the Employer )
