I was told by my P.A. that I more than likely have lupus, but he would wait for me to see a rhuematologist to get a real diagnosis. I can't get in until January 5, 2010 and since he told me this, he refuses to treat me. I tried changing to another doctor, one with a M.D. and she wanted to read my records before accepting me. I signed the release from my P.A. and a few days later I received a phone call from the M.D. and the receptionist told me that after reading my records, the doc would not accept me as a patient. I have no idea why this is. I have never been a complainer and I have never sought out drugs for the fun of it, and even refuse anything that is narcotic. Can anyone give me some insight as to why this is happening to me? I am wondering if it is because I have Medicaid. I just signed a release for my records for another doc that treats my boyfriend for his Multiple Sclerosis, so I am hoping that she will take me. I haven't been feeling very bad lately, except for fatigue, but that is because I had to go to the ER because the pain was so severe. My blood pressure was up to 179/98 and I told them it was because of the pain. The ER doc gave mea shot of demerol two separate times and that made my blood pressure go down. I was given a CT scan and it showed tissue damage so she assumed I had fibromyalgia and she prescribed me the medications I am on now. Since then, I haven't had much pain, thank God and the ER doc. I told her about my doc and she gave me refills on my meds for three months to help me. Other than that doc, I have felt nothing but hopeless. I have been suffering from major depressive disorder, PTSD, and anxiety disorder for years, too, so now I am even deeper into depression and have a lot more anxiety than I ever have. A few months before my P.A. told me about the lupus, I was at a walk-in clinic because my urine was completely black, but I had no other symptoms. I had a severe kidney infection and was treated with antibiotics. Now I am so scared that my kidneys will fail before anyone will treat me. Can anyone talk to me and give me some insight or at least reassure me?
