Am now seeing my 2nd rheumy. Diag. Inflammatory Arthritis. First one only wanted to presribe pain meds not associated with my condition. New one seems to be good--but can't really call her office with many questions or you don't get a call back or if they do call back they say make a list, get an appointment or possibly 2 appointments and then they will talk to me. One response I got back was if I wanted to find a new rheumy I could!!! Not feeling like there is much of a caring doctor/patient relationship here. Taking prednisone as a "bridge" since mid-August. Seems to help a bit till I taper down from 20 mg to 15mg and lower. Added methotrexate for last 4 weeks (3 pills 1X a week) will increase to 5 next week. I seem to feel that a change to a new rheumy is in my best interest, but because of my health insurance coverage I may have to pay some out of pocket costs (over $200) May be worth it though Need someone who have "been there--done that" Thanks for anyone's advice
