[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 163642, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are having to cope with all of this. Rare is irrelevant if you are going through it, other than it causes major problems in getting someone to acknowledge the issues and treat them. I would suggest an allergist AND an immunologist. Ask your rheumy if he is able to handle the immunology part or if there is an immunologist in his dept who could consult for better results. Let the docs know how this is impacting your life and your ability to function. Don't be stoic, cry if you need to when discussing how scary this is and how it hurts and how you just can't do what you need to. I have found that being stoic, saying "I'm fine" when the doctor first walks in, etc... have really kept me from the treatments I need. When I tell the doctor Iam fine, etc.... from the beginning, then I get more responsive treatment. My allergist wasvery interested in the long term effects of allergies, etc.... I think a very good allergist might be super helpful. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
