Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Talked with my PCP this morning about all that is still going on with me. We talked about Mayo & she said when she talked with the rheumy last week he didn't see the need for me to go there because they will just put me through a battery of tests & try some other drugs, so it's a waste of time & money. There are no specialists out there that can do anything different than he can. Ted says he must be really smart. My PCP said she doesn't think the insurance will cover the visit there but if I really want it she will see what she can do. I have an appointment with the rheumy on Thurs. & Ted is going to go with me. For four months that I have had him I have gone in with the same list of complaints & nothing has been done. I am tired of not feeling good. I questioned the PCP about my swelling feet. I told her that I know one of the side effects of Imuran is swelling & the feet didn't start until I went on the Imuran. I can't live like this. They are swollen when I wake up in the morning & get worse as the day goes on. They don't want to give me water pills because this is a different kind of swelling & they probably wouldn't help. I am also having incontinence problems ( & I had surgery with a sling put in Sept. 2000) & it would only make it worse. I feel like I am stuck between a rock & a hard place. Will keep you posted as to how things go Thurs. Luv ya, Susiecue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
