I've had similar experiences to this in the past. RIng your rheumatologists secretary directly, and speak to them. If possible, get a relative to speak also, and just explain how bad you are feeling.
When this has happened with me, they've finally given in and told me to come for a check over straight away and then admitted that I needed to stay in hospital!
You have to be persistent!
