I have an appointment with a rheumatologist tomorrow. I had to download the questionnaire. That's not unusual. But geez..........it was something like 14 pages long! Some of it was redundant.
There were 2 pages for lists of people who had permission to accept health info on me. Then there was a "code word" for them.

I always type out my note for the visit on Microsoft word......which includes previous docs and labs, medications, etc. And the whole danged note disappeared while I was working on it. I have saved it all along.......but it's totally gone from the universe.

Anyhow.........For a few days, it's been a full-time job to fill out these papers! And the doc will come into the room with his lap top, and ask me everything all over ('cause he didn't read the questionnaire).

Now I'm almost too tired to go to the appointment. haha

14 pages seems like a lot, but I guess diagnosing RA could depend on many symptoms, right? I hope the appointment goes really well, sending good vibes, Cathy!
