I don't know if anyone else has had t his problem. My NP, is almost certain that what I have is something lupus and really wants to get rheumy on board with the diagnosis . I see my rheumy Monday, and the last few visits he doesn't seem at all phased by me having anything wrong with me, almost like it's far from the diagnosis. I don't know what to do. I almost feel like I'm crazy.

Hi katequintzel ,

How did you get on with your rheumatologist? Are you any closer to answers?

I did, but he discharged me from his practice, so my NP, referred me elsewhere, because she's nearly sure there's something going on. So I'm back to square one, sort of.
