:huh:

Since nothing has shown up in bloods yet but symptoms are getting worse and new ones are showing up and stuff my doctor is referring me to a rheumatologist. Thing is the ones in battle creek wont see me unless it shows up in tests so she is sending me to the UofM. I was wondering if anyone had any information on the UofM doctors/hospital/rheumatology department/ and such as/ etc. The more information the better. Websites are welcomed. I'm on Time limited Dial up so i cant spend much time searching for items online so this would be a great help if you guys could help me out.

Also what should i take with me, what info, records, etc :wacko: I havent been working in my symptom journal lately but got lots of new symptoms. been slacking - mostly in bed with severe migrains and crying and stuff.... :unsure:

Thank you ladies, you are a blessing in disguise :halo:

:love: Kitten

Ok, so you answered my question about where you were!

Sometimes docs other than rheumies don't know what labs to request to look for autoimmune diseases. My internist didn't even know anything but ANA and sed rate. So the rheumy you see will be better prepared to run tests.

Perhaps other can fill you in on the other questions you asked.

Good luck! :flowers: :flowers:
