Re: Re: Rhemie said Nothing to be done?

[Guest guest]

This is absurd! Mine diagnoised me first visit as was in a big flare, swollen

forearm areas, nodules on back of neck and all check point areas. My primary

had thought this is what it would be, but the Rhuemie is the one that know the

med's non narcotic to treat the disease, she has me on Soma muscle relaxor, and

that is all only because she had tried me on all the others usually used and did

not work or bad side effects. Oh she also prescribed me Lidoderm patches for

the pain sites. Sometimes works, sometimes not, but is not the one to treat with

pain meds long term, this is by primary. Rheumie' know more about the disease

and uses MX PT etc, so suggest you find another willing to try med's that do

work for some. Good Luck

My internist did all sorts of lab work to rule out anything like RA,

etc. She sent me to a rheumotologist who diagnosed me on first visit

and then told me there was nothing to be done. Am looking for new

doctor. Good luck and try to find a doctor who cares.
