"Has anyone had problems with rheumatologists? My first one diagnosed me with PSA. After that the ones I have seen have acted like I was taking up their time. They send me for X-rays and my psa does not show up. I am guessing this is because I have been on biologics for a long time. My skin is clear as well. I show them pics of my psoriasis when not under control. They always say, You do not have PSA and send me away feeling bad. I am wondering is this because they do not have enough training about PSA or since I look ok and can move better at that moment they don't believe me. I need something for my flares in between my shots. Any idea how to find a rheumatologist that may understand. "
