@windyshores, I'm still struggling to find a local Dr that will do more than hand me a sheet of paper with meds, telling me to read up & come back in a year. I did change my lifestyle, yet I don't think I'll ever be able to do enough. I have CLL and I'd like to know if that complicates the issue. This site has given me so much help in understanding this disease! I've recently (3yrs now) moved from NJ to FL so my tried & true lifelong Drs are gone.

I have an appt with an orthopedic tmrw to pick his brain. My rheumatologist appt is in Jan24. I'm pretty much on a journey to find the right Dr. that will do the testing as Dr McCormick recommends. You all have made me stronger, I won't settle for putting something in my body that is recommended by an insurance comp rather than backed by studies/trials. So... sooner or later I'll need to make a decision🥰. Until then I'm learning all I can😉. Ty for asking.
