I'm just so so happy I changed consultants due to my treatment or lack of! I've got psoriatic arthritis and for over a year I've fought on an off with my last consultant feeling fobbed off and basically a pain in the ass! I then requested a change of consultant due to my own research etc and was made to attend an appt with my consultant which felt like he was trying to make me feel uncomfortable but I stood my ground.
I've seen my new consultant twice in the last two wks and omg the difference is unbelievable! Even tho they work in the same dept he has made me feel so much better and even he was shocked at my joints. He has done an ultrasound today that confirms at the grand old age of 36 my thumb joint is damaged due to inflammation. I feel like my efforts have been worthwhile! He's getting me started on the biological drugs asap! Even tho it's been confirmed today I have severe arthritis I finally have hope!! So please please please don't accept treatment that you don't think is adequate. Fight if you need to, it's your body and as much as lots of people are helpful it's not them that had to love with the consequences of crap treatment.....I know easier said than done at times!
