I'm having a very difficult time finding a rheumatologist in my area that will listen and will take the time to explain things to me about lupus. The two in this area are not familiar enough with lupus. They deal more with arthritis and such. If you don't test positive on each visit, they won't spend time with you, and as we all know, testing positive usually depends on your body and if you're in a flare for example. They won't prescribe pain Medes. They send you to your primary physician; which I prefer anyway.
