Had my first appt with Rheum!
I have crohns disease and have been on a wait-list to see the rheum for quite some time. I had my first appointment today and it was such a positive experience 😭 I was quite nervous about going but this Dr was amazing and listened to all of my concerns and she was honestly surprised that I have not been seen sooner!
I had the HLA-B27 blood test today and have booked in for an MRI which will be a bit of a wait but I just feel relieved that the ball is rolling. I had a previous X-ray which showed bilateral SI joint sclerosis and I experience flare ups of pain and now I might get some answers!!
