Saw my rheumy yesterday

udgement and his insistence..We will try the Enbrel again with a dose of prednisone. I soooooooooooo do not like this idea. But he seems to be in agreement with a dermatologist I saw for a total of 2.5 minutes , who decided it was not the enbrel causing my rash. If only he knew me well and would listen to me he would know..I have so many allergies and reactions that nothing changes in my life or in my house. Even when I was in hospital for a few days with my heart attack I started to have a reaction to something and my GP said..time to get you home and rash disappeared within a couple of days. GP not at all impressed either but he has no control over it. Asked him how I could boost my immune system to maybe prevent the rash from coming..he said ' loose the prednisone' fasciscously. Unfortunately he had no answers for me either
Probably don't need this stress on top of everything else happening right now.

Sometimes the Canadian Health care system sucks. In that I cannot just phone up another rheumatologist and go to him or her.

hmm..missing first few words there..

should start off..against my better judgement and his insistence..

Yup, Smitty,the wait time to get to a new specialist is one of the big annoyances of our system. I agree. But anyone who needs a rheumy can get one. Eventually.

true we can eventually.It makes more hassles for my disability income and life in general tho.

I thank whoever is watching over me tho, that my GP is an excellent doctor. He will watch me closely and guaranteed if problems arise..he will write letters.but phone calls will come first
