Like I said, at some point I will see another rheumatologist. Unfortunately I'm too busy for that these days. Perhaps in the new year.
It can only be a very good sign that you are too busy to see a rheumatologist David! I wouldn't have agreed to the lip biopsy myself without my bloods having radically shifted to clearly point towards autoimmunity. And, at the end of the day, I suppose we only submit ourselves to these kind of invasive procedures if and when our symptoms make us sufficiently desperate for answers. Take care and keep busy. Mat
