I changed rheumatologist cause I really felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere with this doctor. I would go in and she would say where do you hurt and I would tell her and she would give me a shot and then heard me out like a cow to get the other 50 people in this doctor is at the University of Kentucky and they ever ran test and been so good
@A MyLupusTeam Member that has been my experience right there, my Ana was 1:640 speckled and they tried to persuade me into thinking all sorts of things. Even when I had other leading symptoms, which were clear evidence of some systemic issue going on. My Pops and other family members died young and sudden and I could at least gather some answers to understand the circumstances of their early demise. @A MyLupusTeam Member Do you have any tell-tale symptoms which indicate a systemic disease such as lupus? Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss/impairment, joint pain, malar rash, lack of hunger and/or thirst? Any stomach pain? Headaches?
