Re: Ok....saw my Rheumy... ita

Hi ita,

I am so sorry to hear about your rheumy visit. I'm afraid like everything else

in life, there are good ones and bad ones. Sue is absolutely right, you need to

find another one.

You also need to stand up for yourself or get your husband to do it. They have

no right to treat you like this.

 

Don't give up, hang on in there and make it your purpose in life to get better.

Start looking around for another rheumy, ask the manager of the vitamin shop who

his mom sees. Most of us have been there at one time or another. This is your

disease, your pain and with the right cocktail of drugs, you will notice the

difference.

 

Keep posting when you feel down, get all that anger out.

Ask your husband to bathe you, get him to brush your hair when you can't.

 

I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts and pray you find a new rheumy soon.

Love and hugs

Date: Monday, 27 April, 2009, 2:27 AM

It was like a waste of time.....I left there feeling more depressed then ever.

He did nothing for me. Said I had symptoms of RA, Carpal tunnel and something

else. But was not sure which was causing my inflammation and pain. He gave me

this " you're already taking meloxicam " that should work. He also said " You

really didn't want steroid treatments because they make me gain weight " " who

cares! " I told him everyday I hurt my fingers soooo bad I'm about to pass out.

Now my other fingers are being affected. He didn't seem to care that I don't

sleep, or am able to care for my kids. What am I going to do...I spent the whole

weekend in pj's, didn't even brush my hair. Don't want to see anyone, I feel

like I'm becoming bitter. My hubby went to a place called " The Vitamin Shoppe "

talked to the mgr, whose mom happens to have RA. He did recommend a couple of

vitamins...I forced myself this evening to start taking them. I'm so angry...I

don't want to be like this.

Need friendly advice.
