Betsy,

When is the last time you saw your rheumatologist? If you are still

having significant problems, your disease isn't under control yet.

Not an MD

Last visit to Rheumy was the end of October. He is in FL and I am in the VI. My

problems seem to rotate around, never know where or when with the exception of

the hands and knees (daily) and the hips (3-5 days during the week). Should I

try to get in to see a Rheumy (I can go to Puerto Rico if need be)?
