Wrong about my rheumatologist!

[cathylou]

Well I was wrong about my rheumatologist. She sent me straight to x Ray, did blood tests, and has ordered a ct scan and referred me to pulmonary.

She said the hydroxy isn't working and when I become infection free she will start me on mycophenolate.

She scared me with how seriously she took everything - grown accustomed to being ignored! She thinks the disease as she called it is progressing. I'm now back on antibiotics and 30mg steroids but my chest seems worse, not sure if that's a sign the antibiotics are working? Or should I consult someone?

Hi Cathy!

Sometimes with chest stuff the past n gets worse as it gets better- this is true of pluersy.

Though if you feel you are struggling/suffering I would quickly pop to the GP

Thanks for your reply. I'll see how I am Monday providing it doesn't get too much worse. Hopefully it's just the antibiotics doing it's job xx
