rejection???
I saw my regular Dr today. She informed me that the request she made to the RA Dr to see me was denied by the Dr. Really? WTF! The RA Dr looked at my bloodwork up and charts and decided that even though my life is at an unmanageable state, that my auto immune # is not high enough for her to see me. How nice. So as I am saddled with intense fatigue, confusion from being so tired all the time, and an over whelming set of allergic reactions (all traced back to RA), I am not worth her time.
Here is what IS happening.
More blood work has been ordered to check my adrenal glad production, as well as my vitamin D uptake, and to check for some potassium/salt problem. This will either point to or rule out quite a few possibilities.
I am also anxiously awaiting a sleep study. There is some research that shows sleep apnea combined with RA (or any type of autoimmune disorder) can bring on crazy allergic reactions, particularly skin reactions. SO, fingers crossed, we might have a simple solution that does not involve drugs to help this situation. I'll keep you posted.
