The rheumatology department hopes to grow in numbers in terms of manpower, research activities and patient centric comprehensive care for Rheumatological problems so as to alleviate manifestations of rheumatological diseases such that patients have a near normal professional and social life.

Rheumatologists in New York

Rheumatological diseases are one of the most common disorders in the community affecting about one-third of the adult population. These include a spectrum of disorders ranging from soft tissue rheumatism to arthritis that affects the joints, muscles, and bones.

I see people complain about rheumatologists all the time and all I think is that I cannot wait to be a rheumatologist consultant that actually listens and can relate to my patients. I'm an overly empathetic person as it is, but the thing I've found myself too with most rheumatologists is that they just don't goddamn listen. Listening is the absolute key to most diagnosis' (which is why I'm mostly in diagnosis limbo half the time). Damn, I just wanna be a good doctor for good people (and bad people, everyone deserves to have a good doctor). It's the whole reason I'm going into this field. I saw a thing I didn't like about my consultants and wanted to make that better. Maybe not for me, but for people like me in the future.

related to the previous post about doctors who've done wrong by you, how about the doctors who did right?

i had a consultant, Jennifer Worral, in London - she's a published rheumatologist and she was wonderful. any slight problem that i had, she looked into it immediately with no hesitation and no presumption that it was 'all in my head' or not a 'real' problem. she treated everything as if it were serious and this was both reassuring and amazing. she always had time for me, no matter how long our appointments took. i would advise anyone based in the south having trouble with their consultants to seek her out. if i didn't live in the North i would've continued my care under her.

how about you guys?

I've been having a really bad heath spell recently. exhaustion beyond words, no energy what-so-ever. i've been sleeping almost constantly, or not at all and it's been awful.

saw my endocrinologist yesterday and she thinks i'm just not suited to hydrocortisone and i'm going back on prednisolone and attempting to reduce, which i'm obviously quite nervous about. those 5mg a day have been my crux for a long time.

i have also been thinking that very soon i may begin a youtuble channel and vlog my days and experiences. videos tend to speak louder than words to most people and i haven't found anyone else doing a similar thing. would this be something people would be interested in?

just been away for a few days with throwing stuff & boston manor in manchester, southampton, and london.

managed way better than i thought i would, once again. i think sheer will power is enough to push through sometimes. making some doctors appointments this week. need to sort some physical & emotional things out with them.

hope you're all doing okay guys.

I'm starting my day in the life of someone suffering from health conditions blog. it may only help myself, but even then, it's a start. if anyone's interested, here's the url

would be cool if people could spread the word. i'm at a point where i want to share this, it's taken me a long time to get here but i really think i can help people. even if it's just helping people understand a little more, that's all i can ask for.

i've been considering for awhile, starting a help blog for people with health conditions. i know there's probably a thousand out there already, but if i can write and talk about my experiences and daily struggles then maybe other people will feel more open to talk about it. i've never really been one for talking too much about my health problems on a public forum, however, if i can help at least one person then i don't see what harm it can do. thoughts?
