Sorry you had to find us Stacey, but the information you need is here. Me2 is spot on with regards to Rheumy overseeing your sisters care. However my ophthalmologist is also an MD, I see the Rheumotologist for oversight. No pun intended. I am just South of Boston and would recommend the drive and have your Doc communicate with the specialists. Boston Medical Center has a top Vasculitis Department as does Mass General. I see Dr. Paul Monach at BMC and am very happy with the care. I will tell you I don't see him too often as I am in remission presently but do have an upcoming appt in August. Any way, take the trip to the big city and then receive treatment locally. Best of both worlds. Good luck to you and your sister. Remember, we are all different in this journey, I am one of the lucky ones to get to remission fairly quickly, not common but it does happen.
