Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Ya know I went to see the Rheumatologist this morning. My primary Dr. got the appt immedioately for me cause he wanted me seen soon. IT WAS A BIG WASTE. He wanted to know if I had seen a dermatologist or if I had liver problems or kidney problems or lung or heart problems. Since I could not tell him I had specific problems or diagnosed with anything to do with them he was wishy washy. He said well it could be lupus and it could be something else. He then tells me that wehn I go into menopause that the lupus symptoms should subside. WELL HELL. If he isn;t willing to say it is lupus then why would the lupus symptoms subside. Then he tells me that after I see the gastro Dr. be sure and come see him again before I go see my primary Dr. in 2 months. He gave me more pain meds. I HAVE STINKING PAIN MEDS. I need something viable to treat the symptoms not mask them and drug me. To top it off this is the ONLY Rheumatologist office that my insurance will let me go to. It is the two of them in the office and the other one will not accept any more HMO patients. Guess who has an HMO? I cannot complain about the HOM though they have always been good. I better go before I rant and rave too much. Ruth in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
