Question:
Answers:
It's time to get a new doctor. One that believes in you and that you feel comfortable with. You are the consumer. If you are worried, he should run all the basic lab work, etc.. Also, there are specialty docs out there.. Rheumatologists for example. they deal with joint problems and pain alot. Find someone you are truely comfortable with and work through each diagnosis with them.

Oh, do I hear this so often. I have Lupus and APS. And for the longest time I was treated crazy. It sounds like it is time to find a new doctor and you yourself need to become educated patient.
Below is a list of doctors that have come recommended to us from the APS Foundation of America, Inc. Hopefully you can find one there.
I also have some general Lupus information for you below. Please keep a symptoms journal for your own record. Take picture of any rashes or disclorations you may have. They may not be there the next time you see your doctor.
Good Luck!
