[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 235966, member: 3388"] Susie, I also agree with Lothlorien. I'm glad your insurance doesn't require a referral when you need to see a specialist. If you have to wait a long time for the appointment, ask if you can be put on a list to be called in case of cancellations. If they won't call you, I would call them about once/week to see if there is a cancellation available. At the same time, I would also call your rheumatalogist and ask for some advice. In the meantime, even though your pedi will probably want to blow you off, I would get Jessie in to see her. Your pedi won't be able to ignore her swollen blue hands. Maybe, she'll be able to prescribe an anti inflammatory drug Jessie can take until you can get an appointment with a pedi rhuematologist. It really bothers me that pedis won't consider the fact that children can have arthritis. I'm sorry there aren't any more enlightened pedis in your area. Please update and let us know how things are going. This has me very concerned. As always, you and Jessie are in my thoughts.... WFEN [/QUOTE]
