Hi, The way these posts come through, I didn't read your initial post prior to responding....so sorry. I've seen two different PA's in my Rheumatology group and they both handle things differently. My first PA believed in weaning slowly and taking into consideration blood work #'s and how I felt. My new one believes in faster weaning and only considers blood work results. I love my initial PA but she took a 3 months leave of absence and is due to return soon, so I will be switching back to her.

It seems like you have to do so much just to relieve your symptoms, but if you don't mind the cost that is great and the perfect way to go! I like treating things holistically myself but can't afford it right now. Let us know how you make out in June. Hope you have great results!

I'm happy to hear that your initial PA is returning soon. Having a good relationship and trusting your healthcare provider is so important. I hope your pain is well managed and that you're able to taper slowly without a major flare up.

Thanks so much for your good thoughts. Wishing you and everyone on this journey better days ahead!
