I am absolutely ecstatic about my rheumatologist Dr. Michelle Petri. I was referred to her by the Lupus Foundation of America. She is the leading physician in rheumatology and pregnancy at John Hopkins Hospital. She is very thorough and caring. Dr. Petri also diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. When she told me this I started crying because for a while I really thought I was going crazy. Other doctors never had an explanation for the pain I'm going through. Its a relief to know that I'm not imagining anything. Otherwise, the baby is growing very healthy, and on schedule. My body is in pain but hopefully this will soon pass.






You are really lucky. When I was living in MD in 1995-96 I was fortunate to have Dr. Petri. She is wonderful and so are the rest of them at Johns Hopkin!!!! Sorry to hear that you have fibro on top of the lupus. I was diagnosed first with fibromyalgia and then with lupus. When is the baby due? I hope that you get some relief.Love, Pam
