I did expect to get turned down the first time but I am furious with my pcp. I went to see him twice last wk & was assured they would get my papers in. I thought I had a good chance at it because...
I've waited for months to be denied. My dirty wrotten pcp never even sent my records in after I made 2 trips to see him last wk & he assured me he would get them into them. I guess I'll call an...
hello king, I have been dx'ed with lupus since 06. I have had some real problems with doctors in the past. My rheumy moved, I lost my insurance so I have been letting my pcp take care of me. 3 mo ago...

I finally got into the rhuemy I have been wanting to see. He took a look at all my biopsies & labs it turns out I have discoid lupus not tumid. He is concerned it has turned to sle. He pulled out...
Okay, now I feel like a real fool! I went & had hospital make me a copy of their records & they are totally different than mine. The nurse drwaing my blood told me they was getting higher 3's than me...
It does not have to be a high load of sugar, any at all does this. I have never been so sick in all my life as what I have been these past few months.I guess I'm just going to have to trust my endo....
Oh, I also forgot to add that my a1c in June of this yr was a 5.4....

I met new rhuemy last week. I've been too mad to even get on the forum since then. First of all I had to pay her 300.00 before they even took me to a room. Her first words to me was she seriuosly...
This lab says 4.0 - 10.0 Taking another glance at it I guess it is coming down because 6/6/09 it was a 10.8....

My WBC is10.4, is this real high? Does this mean my lupus is active or what? I went to see my new rhuemy yesterday but my gp never faxed them all my labs. I waited for 3 1/2 hrs still no labs. The...

Lanie, I looked into it. I do have lupus. My #'s don't seem to get high. I am on low carb diet, I am using low glycemic foods. The highest I've caught it lately is 146, & that was a hr or hr& 1/2...
I went to see one yesterday & he wanted me to have ogtt done because my doc never faxed him these results, so I went to the hospital & had them copy them. I'm hoping these will do. I'm praying they...
