At 74yo I need a dr who will listen to me

Thank you for your support. I attend a warm water pool several times a week. I have developed, with research, my own personal routine. But on occasions I have flare up that Tylenol doesn’t help. Because of my kidney disease, I try to avoid as much as possible anti inflammatories. There are days when it is a real struggle just to walk.

I have RA and pulmonary fibrosis and am supposed to have a team. I can't get that worked out. I have constant inflammation and other difficulties. But no one seems to be together in caring for the conditions, or for my issues for that matter. As a 78 year old woman, I often think it is my age. Or maybe I have a personality that bothers others. In any case, I do keep blaming myself for one thing, but the other is a choice to consider the others uncaring and inadequate. I hate to think a team simply doesn't care enough to even discuss or do a referral. But it does seem to me that I am not getting proper care. It is painful and hard and I am left to all my own devices in trying to help myself. Anyone else going through such conflicts with their illnesses?
