Goodmorning everyone, I am abit worried this is my problem I've had RA since july 2010 it all started of well with the Rheumatologist & then went down hill one min it was RA then Fibro so my orthopaedic surgeon suggested I go & get a second opion at his hosp so I did in feb its been wonderful from the Doctors to the RA nurses . They going to put me on Anti TNF treatment but there ask for blood result from my old hosp what I am worried they will go with old rheumy & change my treatment she wasn't very nice to me didn't lisen to what I had to say do you think new doc will start fresh with his own opion got to see him on tues, this the first time I am happy with the treatment I be ever so greatful with any help.
Thankyou Graham

Good Luck with your new doctor.
Any questions/concerns/thoughts you have - write them down and take with you.
When I see rheumy consultant or rheumy nurse I let them lead the appointment so they cover their side of things then I give my concerns/experiences with ra.

See what the new person has to say - it is like forging a new relationship where you both get to know each other and go from there!
Try not to worry about things - I have two appointments coming up one with my knee surgeon (6 weeks post op) and with ra nurse - she is amazing by listening to my concerns with ra as a whole and specific areas ra is mis behaving. I said to her last year about my knee causing me concern, off I went to have knee xrays and a phone call sooner than she said with a referral to othopedic surgeon.

All the best to you
Jane
