    I have my first appointment tomorrow, nervous that the doctor won't want to help

      I have the same concern. It's so unfortunate that we as patients have to be nervous about receiving the right care.

    Have you seen RA displayed as severe pain behind the knees? Possible pain in other areas (biceps, groin, hamstrings).

      Due to my gout symptoms, I am thinking of visiting a rheumatologist but I am having second thoughts... your video inspires me specially that you mentioned you yourself experienced gout during your early years....

    What does one do when they have serious pain and their first Rheumatology appointment is 3 weeks away? Do you just keep going to the ER for pain meds?

    How would you disentangle symptoms for someone who has cerebral palsy but symptoms of MS. Same question with CP and EDS.....I'm concerned everything will be chalked up to my spastic diplegic CP as the culprit. Heading toy appointment tomorrow morn. Great channel and bedside manner Subscribed ✅

    If it's first time visit , won't there be a blood test done?

    So, I wish I had seen this before my first appt - with my first Rheum-... it is a lesson in knowing your doctor is a POS. and of course a layer of sexism.
    I had no physical exam. he rushed through my whole appt. , writing me off -like my GP did before finally allowing a Rheum referral- because part of my bldwrk looked pretty good... it didn't matter ANYTHING that I was listing as symptoms. it was allllll written off. and he only did the final ACCP and other standard labs to humor me... AND AGAIN- never a physical exam. thing took. 25 min.

    Are they going to help me eliminate RA or just prescribe anti inflammatory drugs and pain meds? That was my purpose for watching the video. Maybe answer in next video.

    Are pseudogout symptoms similar to RA? Thanks

    • @MYAutoimmuneMD
      @MYAutoimmuneMD  Před rokem

      Can be confused but usually RA affects more joints than psuedogout
