Rheumatologist Visit
Finally! My husband and I went to the rheumatologist today. I liked him and he was comfortable to talk to. Of course there are no answers yet. He drew a bunch of blood. MRI of the brain and lower lumbar tomorrow. He says he does not treat blood tests! Positive ANA and my Sjogren's score was an 8 but I have not had dryness of mouth or eyes except when I was on prednisone. He seems skeptical about Sjogrens. He commented that I had CNS symptoms and symptoms of Lupus and Sjogren's so I guess the search has begun to get a dx. I will be glad to rule out MS. At least I hope to rule it out!. It looks like he wants lots of clinical evidence. I am OK with that. Keep me in your prayers please. Pam
