It's a good idea to get the whole gamut of tests before you get too angry at your rheumy, although (imho) not listening to you is grounds for a good smackdown a la wwf, if you ask me. Okay, I don't advocate the violence; just "visualize" it. At the very least he could have told you WHY you were seeing a heart specialist. It could be the lupus still, since cardiac involvement is not uncommon for us lupies. I have "lesions" (for lack of a better word) on my heart, lungs, and brain, and I had to go see specialists for all those things, and in the end, after you get tested, it gives a much better all around picture of what systems in your body you might have involved.
Okay, maybe that's a little scary, but knowing is better that working blind, if you know what I mean.
So, be patient. He might have some idea of what he is really looking for, but it sounds like your rheumatologist's communication skills leave a lot to be desired.
Take the tests. You really will be happier knowing what the results are, and THEN your rheumy will be able to treat ALL of your involvements.
And, if it is fibromyalgia, my heart (no pun intended) goes out to you. I work with a guy who has fibro, and he had to have everything tested, and he's a cop! Yikes!!!
So, in the beginning, when you're trying to figure out what's wrong with you, it's going to be a series of doctors you will end up seeing before you get a complete diagnosis.
Just hang in there, you are definitely NOT alone. It's just frustrating as all heck!
Take care of yourself!
I hope this helps a little...

Thanks Stegazill.

I should have said I do have FM and have for 20 years. My rheum. has been treating me for that for about years. He go down right angry why I refused to go to a heart dr.

The reason I told him I'm not going to go to a heart dr. is I'm tired of dr.s and tests. All I've done for the last 24 years is have surgeries, go to drs. and pay medical bills. At least I do have insurance now, which I didn't for a large period of time and had to pay out of my pocket. I might eventually go but I don't want to go anytime soon. Maybe the specialist I go to next month will figure out what's wrong. If he doesn't I'll give it a rest.

Well, whatever you do, don't give up. I'm at the point now where I figure, somewhere within the calendar year I will have to give up some little part of me. I've had two mastectomies, cervical cancer, a lump taken out from under my arm, and in between I've had to deal with the lupus. I think there's enough of my tissue in the lab banks to clone at least a million "mini me"s! (lol!!) So, I do kind of understand why you don't want to see anymore doctors. Unfortunately, it's necessary. Along with the blood work that's done every few months, it's a real drag.
So, please please don't give up. Don't stop seeing the doctors. Heck, in the end I made a couple of good friends with some of my docs! But maybe it's because I live in a great town where we have doctors galore who aren't afraid to let down their hair once in a while and admit they are humans, too! I've had incredible luck with my docs, and would wish them on any good friend of mine!
Good luck to you, keep us posted on your progress. And, a big hug to ya!

Stegazilla whatis the gamut of tests a doctor runs for Lupus?

There is nothing worse than your doctor not listening to you. Maybe you should get a second opinion. Have you done that yet? I will keep you in my thought.
