Thank you!!

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of doctors I should get referals to...
I want a well rounded medical team....

I appreciate any doctor information I can get....

Abbie

Right on Abbie!!!

OK,
I generally, look in the mirror,
and,
tell myself how sick I am.

Which doctor should I speak to?

Truly now,
My Neurologist,
Dr. Knobler (Ft. Washington, PA)
Is the FINEST doctor I have EVER Been Seen By!

I have such a good relationship with him, that I cannot speak of it.
Truly.

I have with Him, and his Wife and Staff, what EVERY patient should have!

I'm not bragging, or putting anyone on.

This relationship, IS something that Everyone,
Needs to Work towards!
I've been through TWO UnAvailable Wives through. (My Wives).
He and His Wife, have been completely TRUE!
To Me!

So, if anyone, in SE PA, can get closer, to a "Perfect"
relationship....
I,
want to Know about it!

Thanks,

Pete

My PCP takes care of my Pain Management. He's been my PCP for 19 years so he knows me well. Like Pete, I feel like he's the best. He also spoke at Bill's funeral because they were friends. They shared yard flowers with each other. I consider him one of my best friends if not the best.

I also have a Neurolgist for MS, a Orthopedic Dr., a hand surgeon, a Gyno, a Urologist, a heart Dr.,a gastro, but if I don't feel like they are doing enough for me I go back to my PCP and say ok it's up to you. He gets out those books and figures things out.

We do need a family Dr. for things that aren't for Specialist anyway and for all of our records to go to so they can see what is going on with us. A lot of times other illnesses aren't related to RSD.

Pete, I have that relationship that you have with your Dr. and he makes me feel secure in the fact that if I need to see him, he's there for me.

Thanks, and good for you, Ada!

I still have this "spider bite" thing going, literally, over 100 bites on my calf, and some on my arms and hands, feet.
He gave me steroids, and the bites are healing, but I'm still getting hives.
He, (my neuro) wants me to see a dermatologist.
I almost panicked.
I haven't seen another doctor, (except for ER), since the early 90's!
He takes care of everything for me.

I know I'm going to hafto start branching out my care, as his staff told me, he wants me to have a "back up" doctor, whom he can work with. (He had a mild Heart attack last year), and his care for patients is incredible. I have many friends there, in the waiting room! And, I've sent many folks to him.

Change is the only constant. Nothing ever stays the same.
Blame your madness on Sorrow (Or pain), but be a happy person!

I think you should see a dermatologist. Really...please do.

Spiders don't bite like this. They do not feed off humans.
Bites are defensive, and not that common.

I responded to you on the skin care thread. Please read it.

Hives are an allergic reaction. Your trigger may be someplace else.

I had a spider bite on my ankle one year on vacation. It was a nightmare. Pain, swelling, only one bite with 2 injection sites.
It took months to heal up. I've seen many patients with similar bites...they do not sound like your experience, Pete.

i have appointments for all 4 that are listed this month plus a urologist appt and colonscopy. busy month again.
