Morning lovelies.

I have my first appointment with rheumatology today.

Can you give me any insight to what happens at the appointment?

I’d like to go feeling prepared!

Thanks

Oh that’s excellent news I can’t really help as my appointment has now been cancelled 4 times in a row since February due to COVID but good luck hope you get the answers you need.

Hi. At Rheumatologist my Fibromyalgia was confirmed by talking through and checking my tender points. Further down the line I had an MRI scan on my spine which confirmed spondyloarthritis and sacrolilitis. Good luck and take a load of notes with you.

Hi there, I'm glad your appointment went well. Sorry you got diagnosed with this horrible illness. But now you know what your dealing with I hope you also have an understanding GP on board. A good doctor is a massive help to all who suffer but more so IMO when we have an invisible illness 🤗🤗
