  1. My rheumatologist spent 2 hours with me during my first appt!!!! I was so stunned! Just the two of us..... She asked me questions about my health that I hadn't given a second thought about before!!!!

    1. Hi I went fifteen yrs seeing rheumatologists and one was very well known and we tried everything but no true diagnoses until I found a new and younger one they have the newest info for PSA I think anyway saw him once and when I went back he told me for sure it was PSA/osteo all we can do is trust our instinc hope this helps

      1. Wow , fifteen years of rheumatology appointments without a diagnosis is a painfully long time! I'm so sorry you went through that; thank goodness you finally found a rheumy to diagnose you properly. Are you now getting treatment that helps you feel better? -Eileen, Psoriatic-Arthritis.com Team
