Tomorrow is my rheumy appointment. I will continue to see this rheumy until I get the approval from my insurance for a second rheumy. I was told though that this 2nd rheumy that I am referred to will take about 3 months to set up an appointment for a new patient.

No, the pulmo did not mention about oxygen. He believes that my lungs is still considered within normal level. But, he acknowledges that the function has steadily declined since 2008. The frustrating part is he could not see in my tests the cause of hte decline.

I am so concerned about the decline of my PFT. I dont know why my body does not show anything for the doctors to properly address.
