First doctor's appointment after diagnosis--questions?
This is my first reddit post (ever). I'm 27(f), and I've been having symptoms for at least 10 months now. I finally got in to see a rheumatologist about a month ago, and he called with my blood work results a week later. All he said was "you seem to be developing markers of rheumatoid arthritis, and we'll discuss treatment options at your next visit." My question to you all is, what questions should I come prepared with for this conversation? Is there anything you wish you had known sooner regarding early treatment? I'm anxious to begin treatment as the pain the the mornings (especially in my shoulders) is becoming unbearable. But I'm obviously nervous about all these drugs I've read about... Thanks so much for your insight. I'm glad I found this thread.
