Many years ago when I was searching for "cures" or at least a diagnosis of my problems, I went to a rheumatologist and heard nothing for a month. I finally called and he did call me and said my blood work indicated I had lupus, but since I did not have the symptoms of lupus, I did not have it. He then said he did not know what my problems was. It is truly frustrating to not get any answers and certainly not in a timely manner. I gave up until I made the rounds of a medical center here and they were no help. Then we did make the two trips to Mayo and no help there either. My symptoms have changed and I just do the best I can each day. Some days are not good, but I tell myself I am still blessed with a good husband and dog. I wish you the very best in finding an answer.
