How do I find conversations with folk as someone recommended a Rheumy to me and I cant find the thread x

Might have more luck if you title the post - finding a Rheumy near ..... (wherever you can travel) or similar - and hope the person who recommended sees it.

Or go through your previous posts ...

It eas a lady who’d seen one at the Nuffield Hospital in Derby and said he was amazing and really knew his stuff. She was about 7 miles away from me but can’t find the post

When you re-post as DL has suggested, add location and where you are prepared to travel to.

It was a few months ago when discussing a 2.5 year wait to see a Rheumatologist before last Christmas x

Found this reply -

Hi, I am also in Derbyshire and was diagnosed in September.Because of the long wait to see a rheumatologist, I also paid to see a consultant privately at the Nuffield. I can recommend getting an appointment with Dr Nicholas Raj who said that the initial consultation would not exceed £220. In actual fact he only charged £175 which was the best money I ever spent. I did pay for bloods too but as he is the Head of Rheumatology at Derby Royal, he did say I could have them there on nhs but I just needed to get the right diagnosis and treatment plan ASAP. He was brilliant and after just a thorough physical exam, he knew exactly what I needed and actually contradicted my GP. I did go back the following week and paid privately (because of the long wait) for MRI, ultrasound etc but again he said I could do that at the Royal.

I’m now on his recommended treatment plan via the GP but he has left me an open appointment at the Royal, should I have the need. Would highly recommend.

Wishing you all the best x

I asked if it was on a post of yours - youd have had it yesterday had you answered my question.

[madhouse1 in reply to PMRpro]

I’m sorry PMRpro I thought I had answered you but I was not having a good day and ended up going to bed. Feel better today. Yes it was on a post but I couldn’t find where to look to find it. 🙈
