Welcome @socalgirlntx . I’m glad you have found MayoClinicConnect. We’re a varied group of people who share our health journeys, and information and support. We’re not doctors so can’t really diagnose or suggest medications, but people here are great at helping each other. I found MayoClinicConnect when I, too, had a bunch of strange symptoms. My problems were all GI but they eventually found the cause in my brain. 🥴. You’ve mentioned a wait of 6 months to see a rheumatologist. Do you live near any big cities with major medical centers or university hospitals? You might try contacting one and asking for help. Or ask your physician to summarize your problem in a letter to them. This is what I had to do. My husband allied the university medical center and was able to get an appointment and someone who would pay attention. I’m so glad he did! Is this something you might try?
