,

Do you have to stay with your current rheumatologist? I worry that he is not

the man for you. I've heard enough stories about him to think that he really

isn't a good partner for you. June is too long to wait to hear about your

MRI. Is this the MRI of your hips? Can you call back and say that you would

really like to speak with the doc because you are very worried? Is it

possible for you to change doctors? Did you read the article Sandy posted

today about divorcing your doctor?

I know that sometimes it's very difficult to change and maybe with the WC

and SS and everything else in your situation you can't. If you can't, he

needs to understand that you need to know about exactly what is going on

with you as the information becomes available. To make you wait just adds

stress on top of an already stressful, painful condition. He should know

better than that! The nurse should, too.

Hang in there and try to feel good,
