Sorry just saw this, yes I am miserable , my knees hurt so bad its hard to make it through the day, at night the cramps are enough to make you cry, still trying to get into SLU but there is a huge disconnect between doctors and fax machines, one knee I could understand but both and my joints are just so bad, I am getting a CT scan in the morning, guess have to drink some nasty stuff before. I have called thinking 10 times getting Med records sent but it must take a act of God, now this week suppose to get up to 18 inchs of snow which is not fun even when I felt good lol, thinking doctors are like weather people, most the time full of crap !!! Sorry to be so down but I find the whole thing amazing ! MJ

@mikej , Good Morning, Mike. My thoughts are with you as you are either on the road or into the CT process. We would be shut down here if we had 18 inches of snow. Hope the travel was okay.

Mike, I feel your frustration with the medical records issue. Unfortunately the staffing is low and slow, but no excuse for such a difficult time getting your records. What I have had to do on occasion is to visit my local hospital records department and to personally request, and then wait for the records to be handed to me. I can then deliver them to where they need to be via whatever the new provider requests. and I keep a copy for myself, too.

Mike , have you tried to contact the records department yourself?
When will you get results or follow-up of the CT?
