My cardiologist diagnosed me with the above last week. Seeing rheumatologist in 3 weeks. But which medical specialty should be *treating* my symptoms? SO confused and scared and in the middle of a horrible laundry list of symptoms (I think this is referred to as a “flare”?). Feel like I brought this on to myself bc I was gardening like a maniac moving 2 tons of topsoil by myself and was ignoring symptoms (lately, but also my whole life I now realize looking back). Didn’t know what it was or surely I would not have been that reckless. 😣Now I’m reduced to moving like a 95-year old whereas before I was a seemingly functioning, exercising, fit 55 yo woman with a LIFE.
