Private Rheumatologist

[Tiggywoos]

Hi everyone hope you’re all managing to stay warm 🥶.

Wondered if anyone could help with suggestions of a Rheumatologist who does private work in the South West please ?

Spoke to GP yesterday and he said he can’t refer me to Bath due to covid and they won’t be seeing patients face to face .

Repeat anti body tests negative but C3 was below range and iron has dropped . No of even sure if Rheumatologist will want to see me with absent antibodies? Knees are swollen (fluid in tissues said physio) funny nodule on toe and raynaulds . I’ll stop now 😉.

Any advice , comments , would be so so appreciated . Love to you all 💕xx

I had to have a hemoglobin doctor in order to help with low iron and a few other issues if u find a hemoglobin doctor they should be able to help you and I have Reynaud I was told to just keep my fingers and toes warm if your iron is low they probably might put you on iron pills to keep you from becoming anemic i only know of two doctors that re really good but they both in Canada the adult rheumatologist ( i call her lupus doc) is named dr. Nyguen shes in the Manitoba clinic and all the symptoms you have described is what she has already helped me with. u say her name like new in idk but if u can maby call her office and ask if they know any good docs closer to you.? idk if this helps but i hope it gives you something to start off with
