How to use Primary Care when you have Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus (or other autoimmune diseases)

[@leaveittolefty]

my PCP (one yr) is a new MD. he is outstanding. when we met he said “give me your binder. I know you have a binder!” I am 68 with complex symptoms. after a yr he said lupus, suggested rheumy. best day ever. now he tells me to come to him first and not “wear out” my new rheumy. new rheumy said not to hold back details, he wants to know everything to treat me best way. i am so grateful to have these two providers in my life after struggling for 5 years-i have hope!

I don't know about the USA. But over the pond,there is a lot of people,young people a lot of also,that are presenting with stage 3/4 Cancers,that seem too be caused by the Elephant in the room,boosters especially! And other problems like Pots,Cardiovascular problems etc. Are you seeing any similar trends over there. Thank-you.

Three? Rheumatologist, PCD, retina specialist, immunologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, psychiatrist, and orthopedic specialist. Plus dental specialists. I'm pretty sure none of them shares information with the others. I maintain a spreadsheet of medications and a summary of medical history to keep them all informed. I would rather take a sharp poke in the eye than start a new doctor. Favorite comment from my new PCP..."You're on a lot of medications." Ya think? 😂
