Well, at least you're getting somewhere. Even if no one asked you if you wanted to go. You mentioned in another post about doing something like scrubbing the floor before your next appointment, to bring on the swelling -- this is an excellent idea, maybe if the rhuemy actually sees the swelling he'll be more inclined to actually diagnose you. Yep, that's the plan. I'm scrubbing the tub and cleaning the floors before my next appointment. At least, when I get home after seeing the rheumatologist, I can enjoy a clean bathroom!

So is fibro still a factor? Neither my PCP nor the rheumy have mentioned the fibro. I brought it up to my doctor, but she seemed to be thinking it was RA, which is why I was sent to the rheumy. Or if it is RA does that mean you don't have fibro? Or could you have both like Michele? That's possible. I'll have to bring it up to the rheumatologist next time I see him. I hope not.
