I wish you good luck in getting answers. i hope him being in demand means he is very good and you get help. i think thats all any of us want. i have never seen a rheumatologist before. this is all new to me. i understand about flares but i have alot of health issues and alot of specialists appts set up. im going on my 5th GI and im hoping he works out i have a good feeling but we will see next week. my GI issues are actually my bigger concern possibly autoimmune gastritis which i wish wasnt the case but you know i try to reduce my stress as much as possible. stress i know for anything your dealing with will only make symptoms worse. but not having the best drs as i been going through for almost 2 years thats stressful. but i just found a really good primary, which does lift alot of stress up, so thats a good thing. the GI is right there where they are so im hopeful.
