A distinct difference of views!

I volunteered to be part of an on line survey on Rheumies and emotional support to patients. This showed that 97% of rheumies considered that they discussed and supported emotional issues related to the illness such as anxiety and depression. On the other hand 74% of patients said that their rheumy never mentioned these topics or gave support! Wonder who is right….

I got asked if I had experienced either of those as symptom of lupus but that was pretty much it. Emotionally there has never been any support.
