Thank you Colleen. I do have a follow up scheduled to review additional imaging and lab work. I asked the doctor if they see local patients for ongoing care like infusions. She said that they did not and that even local patients still need a local rheumatologist. I guess I am odd because I don't view traveling 2 hours to an appointment to be burdensome. Due to the shortage of pediatric rheumatologists, I was often traveling 4 hours each way to get care for my kids when they were children. I have always had the attitude that it was worth it to travel to get good medical care.
