The stupid GP will NOT under any circumstance give me Prednisone...I'm so tired of this...he said, if the NSAIDs aren't working, to try Tylenol...what an idiot!!! if that worked, I would SOOO already be doing it!!!

The nurse is waiting on the Rheumy's office to call her with an appt., and said it could be next week before I hear anything about an appointment.

So, I say again, ITS NOT FREAKING FAIR! I've told them 4 times now how much pain I'm in...that I can't take it much longer without some relief...the GP said he couldn't give me Prednisone because the Rheumy might want to give me something else when I get there...

That makes NO sense to me!!!

((((keli)))) no, it doesn't make sense. especially if it's going to be 2 months before you can see a rheumatologist. and i would point that out to this doc. there is no reason under the sun that you should be expected to endure such pain. keep after him. i wish i had more for you, but just be persistent. i really hope you start feeling better soon.


love u,

is it possible he didn't want to give you prednisone cause of the bp?i know you'd take it correctly but if taken incorrectly it could make you loopy,which is maybe why he won't prescribe...try again & tell him the tylenol doesn't work!
isn't there a new reun arthrithis med out now?or is that up to the rheumy doc to look into?
