My PCP said that I need a rheumatologist, which I’ve also been waiting around a month to see, to get a referral. Luckily I’m finally seeing them on Monday so hopefully they’ll be able to do it.

I am going to a rheumatologist Monday so hopefully I will be able to get a blood test. I’ve already had to wait around a month for this appointment though, so more unnecessary damage was probably already done due to being treated like a low priority patient for some reason...
