Anyone have problems with doctor shrugging off your flare up (current labs CRP 16.2 and SED 54) and unable to reach doctors on a Saturday. I called and spoke to rheumatology office would only connect me to cover if an emergency. I called and spoke to cover for my pcp and stated I had stiff hands and shoulder with pain and told him my rheumatologist had given me prednisone in the past for an flare up and he put thru a prescription. The rheumatologist responded on Monday and said all my labs were fine (other ones also which were fine) and wait for appointment in February. My pcp had a kitten that I had asked for prednisone (which could have been denied) and I should only discuss with rheumatologist.
P.S. I responded to both emails explaining the situation to no avail. It appears no one is talking to me.

Should I have waited until Monday in the hope that someone would talk to me about this problem? Gone to the ER and pissed off my insurance company? Shot myself?

My doctors and hospitals are highly rated (in Chicagoland).
