Hello all,
I am a new member looking for advise.
I was diagnosed just three days ago and I have no idea what to think. My family is not taking it well. Somehow in my readings I found the forum and I see a wealth of information and caring between each other. I look forward to being a part of this group.
My specifics are quite basic at this point. Sinus trouble the last 4 years. Deviated septum repair three years ago and then again three weeks ago. Path on most recent surgery showed Staph in the left nostril but the reoccurrence of the deviation didn't sit well with my ENT. He ordered blood tests and revealed that my ANCA levels were high. Kidney function is fine with no lung issues.
I have been referred to a Rhumy at the University of Miami.
My question is:
Based on experience of the group. Should I waste time with the Miami doctor or head right to the people who deal with this every day?
I have good insurance and the Mayo Clinic in MN is in my network even though I live in FL
Who is the best doctor to see?
Money is not an issue. My family wants me to come out full force and get ahead of this.
Please help guide a newbie.
thank you for any advice.
