Rheumatologist

[Skodadet]

Hello everyone

I hope this is ok to ask. I have had PMR for over 9 years and only seen a rheumatologist once four years ago for advice on osteoporosis. He was in the Royal Surrey in Guildford and I didn't get on well with him because I am reluctant to take Denusomab on my dentist's advice. I am allergic to Alendronic Acid. He wasn't at all interested in my Polymyalgia. I have just had another bone scan and want to be prepared in case the doctor refers me again. If I see another rheumatologist I would like to see one who would help me with prednisolone reduction and be sympathetic towards my concerns with Denusomab. Does anyone know a good rheumy in Sussex? I'd be grateful to know any good experiences.

Is Chertsey too far?

It is a bit but prepared to travel for the right person.

Lot of people here would say that Rod Hughes was the right person!
