dropdeded 0 #1 January 13, 2003 Anyone have experience looking for a Dr. with knowledge of any particular disease?My wife has Lupus and its kicking her ass again and we cant get a Dr. that is knowledgable in her particular problem(the Lupus). Is there some sort of list or something somewhere that might tell me of Dr.s familiar with this disease? Just fishin here. dropdeded pcss#26------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropdeded 0 #6 January 14, 2003 I would appreciate any infoI just got off the phone with my wife,the hospital is having a discharge person come see her tonight.This has happened several times and Im fuckin pissed! I completely understand that Lupus is a pretty hard disease to treat and most Dr.s are not very familiar with what it does to a person and treatment is a hit and miss deal.She has gone through quite a few different Dr.s,so far all of them have done pretty much nothing except fill her full of pain drugs,then when a Dr. checks into her history they think she is a drug seeker.Thats all they have done,given her drugs.The problem is her neck,shoulders and mainly her mid-back(this time).All we want is someone to tell us "the problem is.....,heres what we can do." Im gonna miss school today and go rope me some Dr.s and make them tell me SOMETHING !! Just needed to do some bitchin Also would like to request some anti-Dr. killing vibes blah blah blah dropdeded ------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessd 0 #7 January 14, 2003 I know nothing about Lupus, but, my only suggestion would be to check out the Lupus foundation and read all the information that is out there about different treatments. Go into the doctor's armed with information and questions. I know the frustration of having someone close to you who is sickand feeling like there is so much more that the doctor's should be doing. I wish you and your wife the best. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropdeded 0 #8 January 14, 2003 Thanks for the tip on the site.Looks like a very informative resource. Someone must have mentally sent the anti Dr. killing vibes cause they scheduled an MRI.I guess its possible that someone at the hospital is lurking dz.com and warned emblah blah blah dropdeded ------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #9 January 14, 2003 well I don't know much about lupus except that its an autoimmune disease. The immune system is so f&*king complicated that scientists are only just now starting tofigure it all out, and obviously we've got a long way to go. shit they can't even figure out why some people get allergies.
