[PsoriaticArthritis] Which Doctor?
I am totally puzzled about which doctor I should see:
I started taking Humira 11/7. It has been marvelous
and I feel as if I have a life again.
Now, three months later, I have what appears to be an
abscess/cyst/boil type bump in my arm pit.
I had a similar lump years ago, after I had surgery.
Then it was basically an isolated pocket of infection
that was cured by a short course of anitbiotics.
I suspect that this is the same, and I need to do the
antibiotic / suspend humira short term thing...
My problem is: who do I see about this? I have no
'primary care' doctor (long story) I have rheumy,
dermy, and a remarkably talented Nurse practioner that
looks after my diabetes and sends me to other
specialists as needed. Our local 'emergency' clinic
is a total joke, and I won't waste time with them or
expose myself to the flu in them.
I expect that whoever I see will get in touch with the
rheumy about how long to cease the humira, but I don't
want to waste my time and co-pay with a string of 'see
x' no, x can't do it, see y. wait, y needs to
consult with N, G and H...
any input folks?
