:razz:Hi Everyone -
I have my first Rheumatologist's apt on Friday, and he is actually one of the doctors that I later found connected to this website, Dr. Guttell.
First of all, I am wondering, what can a Rheumatologist can do for me besides confirm diagnosis?
Secondly, what should I bring with me?
Such as:
A list of what parts of my body hurt, when each part started hurting and what kind of tests have been done on that part of the body, if any, plus the results
A list of what medications have been tried, which worked, for how long & which didn't work, with adverse reactions
Other ideas.
I truly appreciate your input.
