I had been diagnosed with RA and treated for years. I developed other symptoms including renal failure and had 2 DVTs. I had all of my medical records including multiple pictures of rashes, mouth ulcers, and other abnormal things that I photographed for dr references. He was very pleasant to me and said he would get to the bottom of what was going on... I had multiple labs that day. I left his office so happy that I found a dr that listened, or so I thought. His "nurse" called me back a week or so later to let me know that I had NOTHING WRONG!!!! I explained to her about what all he had told me and all of my previous labs including my major health issues. She put me on hold to speak with him and came back to say that I must have fibromyalgia and if I got sick again to come back in!!!! We drove 5 hours to see him and I get a diagnosis of fibromyalgia?! I had tested positive for RA and Lupus at different times in the past and those labs meant absolutely nothing to him! I finally found another rheumatologist that looked at my records, pictures and listened! I was diagnosed with LUPUS. She explained that one does not always test positive and labs change. Also, a patient history goes in to making diagnosis, not just what 1 lab says at 1 time! Why he doesn't know this, scares me for his patients! And he supposedly has Lupus himself... So he should definitely know from personal experience as well as his education!
