Missed Diagnosis by Rheumatologist

My 1st rheumatologist was this old white guy who should have just retired with his ideologies... but when I walked in he laughed and asked why I thought I thought I had autoimmune issues. Well I had 2 already and alot of unexplainable pain. He dismissed me a sent me back to my primary. I was so mad and embarrassed as was my primary since they're of the same group/building. She apologized and sent me to an arthritis center 2hrs away where I was instant diagnosed with fibromyalgia, then RA, then PsA....but yeaaaah there was nothing wrong with me lol

I love my rheumatologist but in my lupus support group I heard horror stories about how patients can be treated by the one specialist that should understand what we go through- which extends to not considering that we have rarish reasons for feeling certain ways like why you weren’t responding to your treatment. I hope with your new rheumatologist you’re able to find a treatment plan that provides some relief💕
