Having Difficulty Getting Diagnosis

@herring 1954. It is very difficult to get an autoimmune diagnosis because the signs and symptoms are so nebulous. The doctors you want to see are internal medicine and rheumatologists. Is your insurance through the Duke U system? You might ask the medical employees office if there are doctors the were educated by Duke University but are self-employed. Then you can look up those doctors, see if they, are taking new patients, and then make an appointment. Just understand that long wait times are common today.
What specific symptoms are bothering you?
