Thanks

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.  I guess I don't have enough experience to

know if I am satisfied with this doctor or not.  I feel very confused, like I am

being tossed around.  I did receive a letter saying that my bloodwork is normal,

but he did say that is not a definitive test.  I can't take the anti inflamatory

he gave me as it causes bad stomach pain.  So I am on no meds at all.  I

definetly do not like the pain management clinic doctor.  He pretty much told me

nothing is wrong and to get someone else to care for my guide dog if it hurts

too much, and that is simply not an option for me.  I am thinking of calling the

rheum. doc back and ask for a sooner appointment.  I have some questions, but

was too overwhelmed to remember them at the time.  If anyone has any suggestions

for questions I should ask, I would greatly appreciate them.  Also, someone

posted about keeping a daily journal.  What do you note, as I think that would

be a

great thing to have with me.  I have been running a low grade fever and feeling

generally crummy for several months now and it is starting to get very

frustrating.  I am glad I found this list.  Charlotte
