He's excellent, as are so many others on this platform. I had a feeling that the bloods wouldn't yield anything, I suppose the positive is that it'll have eliminated many conditions. Yes, I just need to be careful how I approach it - I need to push the Dr in the direction of what I believe should happen, while making him believe that he's making the call.

You’re correct that at least the labs revealed what you don’t have. Definitely keep insisting that you see a rheumatologist and continue getting more lab work/tests until they find an answer. I’m finding now that apparently even if the lab work and symptoms indicate I have Sjogren’s, I have to go for more tests before I can see a rheumatologist and get treatment! Stay positive and persistent!

@change25 I have seen your confidence grow so much over these past weeks! You are really doing a great job.
Is anyone going with you to your next appointment? Someone you know and trust and who sees what is going on with you. Someone who can take good notes.
Are you keeping a journal on all that is happening and doctor visits, etc.?
