Don't be sorry. I feel exactly the same way. I did not care for her demeanour at all. She was almost an hour and half late for the appointment, she was condescending and almost rude. Her reviews were negative but I decided to go in with an open mind. That lasted about 60 minutes of waiting for her.She thought what she said had some kind of humour in it. When I told her I had very little energy, she said "drink more coffee" and I said I only have 1 cup in the morning. She said "well drink more". Then she gave me HER tapering schedule and said "come back to see me in 4 months and we'll see how that schedule goes". This after waiting 6 months to see her. Unfortunately, there are not enough Rheumy's in Halifax, NS and so the "shop around" thing is not realistic. At least I now have a GP because I finally made my way up "the list". I was better off with the Neurologist who was just a temporary situation. He was amazing. I appreciate your comments. Thank you.
