First rheumatology, appointment advice

36F

Hi, I’m going to my first rheumatology appointment tomorrow. I had an elevated RA factor and then it remained elevated after recheck a couple weeks later, so I received the referral. I’ve been having chronic stiffness and pain with extreme tiredness.

I don’t know what to expect, but I’m nervous that they won’t take me seriously. I’ve seen horror reviews of doctors just completely blowing people off at the gate and then getting massive bills after minimal communication and zero work up. I’m sure it’s probably irrational and everything has a couple whack-o reviews.

Does anybody have any advice here first appointment. I often struggle describing my symptoms and can’t quite come up with the right words to communicate effectively.

Waiting on Dr. to review test results

I’ve been having chronic pain in my hips and legs. When I wake up in the morning or after I sit in the car, even if it’s only 30 minutes, when I get up, I’m extremely stiff. My knees appeared swollen at times and although both side sides of my hip hurts one in particular seems swollen and hurts more. I had a painful and swollen wrist for about a month. I’ve been having very low energy. I finally went to the doctor and had an elevated rheumatoid factor. I’m waiting for him to actually review the results. What are the chances that it comes back nothing? I’m a female in my 30s. Just anxious while waiting for results, but also kind of wanting a definitive answer.

looking at reserving the : King One Bedroom Suite Oceanfront View Jetted Tub

I know reservation wording can be tricky. It doesn’t always mean what you think it does. Does anybody have pictures of one of these actual rooms? The website seems to be limited on specific rooms. They don’t offer pictures of the jetted tub or fully explain the different verbiage for water views.

If anyone stayed in this room and has actual pictures, I’d really appreciate it. Real person pictures versus hotel stock are probably different.

Thanks!

Hide and seek

Does anyone else play hide and seek?. It is SO fun. The places they can learn to search is so interesting. I hid in the shower once a month ago and he barrels through the curtain like a bull in a China shop. These dogs are so smart, fun and loyal.
