Biopsy results

Maria - I can't imagine what type of chages in the rheumatology department within the U of M Health system, would cause your eye doc to send you to an outside rheumatologist who's not even familiar with vasculitis! I'm glad that you found someone at U of M to help you. My advice, is to stay in contact with that person, and try to get her in there ASAP. To have her eye specialist and rheumy in the same health system is a bonus. It's nice to have a team approach. I would not waste another second of my time with the original rheumatologist - and keep your hubby away from him just in case!

She's nearly an adult! Isn't she turning 18 very soon? I can't believe they would turn you away at this stage!

(sorry about the bold face font - I couldn't get it to turn off!!)

Chris, I could not believe it either! Ok so there going through some changes bcse the director of the dept is no longer there. But SO,I can't believe there are no other doctors there he can recommend. Then he recommends one which is not familiar with vasculities, wegs etc. My husband says all I do is complain but none of this is making since. So again Im searching for a better rheamy. We do have an outreach clevland clinic about 1 1/2 hours away but they only take adults she will be 18 next month. They also don't take her insurance. So I might be looking at a change. Ill see how it goes on Friday.
