Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi all, Thought by traveleing to a big city neurologist I'd get a real answer about the pins and needles and numbness in my feet and legs. Another weirdo. Walks in the room and tells me I have too many diagnosis. Well okaaay. I didn't ask for them. Then he tells me I have migraine and fibromyalgia. What? I've had only one bad headache in my life. I assured him that I do have RA, elevated sed and crp etc.. and have already lost two hips. He said " so what? " I was feeling hostile at this point and he went on to say that many people are put on RA meds that don't need them etc... If this man was going to suggest I give up my mtx and Remicade, I was going to walk out. Plus, my hands are swollen and my rheummy is very respected. Another doctor consult with no results. Actually 2 MORE diagnosis and 2 more meds! Maybe I do have fibro but I think a doctor who does not know me, has not seen my blood results or MRIs has no business disputing a diagnosis given by Harvard and my local rheummy. Grrr...had to vent. We are so alone in this disease. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
