When I was at my worst I had 17 specialists. I think they helped a lot - particularly the Urologist, the gastroenterologist, and the Endocrinologist. For yrs. I tried all the different meds. I finally gave up on almost all of them as most caused me awful side effects. Now I work to change my lifestyle and find that stopping my flares before they hit works better for me!!!! My Endocrinologist suggested the enzymes and stopping the nightshade veges. - both of which have worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree I had a doctor appointment every day this week and I just didn't want to go so I called them all and cancelled and rescheduled.

I go to rheumatologist and they just send me to neurologist and neurologist just sends me back to rheumatologist and it all just cycles back to my primary, they don’t know how to treat my condition other than with antidepressants and Gabapentin which do nothing for me besides it’s not always pain I’m feeling 🤷🏻‍♂️
