After my visit with the Rheumatologist at the VA I called my current

Rheumatologist, cancelled my next appointment and dumped her. It's very

frustrating. She diagnosed me as moderate to severe, told me she was very

concerned about progression and then came up with a treatment plan for someone

who may have tested postive for RA but has little to no symptoms. I've been

hurting for months and tellin' her and basically getting nothing for it. Then I

found out she told my GP that I was resisting treatment which is absolutely

absurd. We should have done the TNF last August when I tested positive for TB

exposure, so I could do the TNH right away. Then I discovered she mis-prescribed

one of my medications. No one can figure out why she wouldn't give me anything

for pain, you know - the flares on the pain scale at 8 or 9, inmoble for two

days. Without my GP things would have been a lot worse. Then I discovered she

wanted to start me on the biologics way too early with doing the TNH. The upside

is that we're gonna get it all straightened out and I should be doing much

better during the next three months, and then I'll be able to try the biologics.

I haven't changed my opinion about RA, it's a nightmare. Life goes on!

PS: may have been sort of right 'bout my Rheummy but don't tell here that.
