I'm sure this is frustrating and feeling SOB and having other symptoms make the frustration even more profound.

If you're not happy with this rheumy, I would encourage you to set up the appt with another...even if it means waiting 2-3 months. Do it now. You can always cancel it down the road if you feel better, get answers from another doctor, etc.
Yes she requested for a lop biopsy. I'm waiting for the authorization, then schedule. I alspo requested for another referral to a rheumatologist.

What do u take for ur PN? Do u take gabapentin? I am now on 1200 Mg per day but it seems my symptoms have gone to another level. I'm trying to stay on it for as long as I can because am concerned of reaching the Max dosage too soon.
