My neck got big and hurt real bad and couldn't swallow my food. He wanted to send me to a another dr to take care of it cause he said that the Lupus was making it acted up.. Because I was very shaky short of breath and heart rate was 150 and blood preasure was 200/100 he put me on Inderal La of 120mg and Diovan 320 mg. And that help a lot. BP down to 116/70 hr 70. I just gotten my ssd and now I have the money to get taking care of right. In the mean time my neck swelling went down the pain is gone. But still feel hyper and still losing weight. For the ssd I have a medacard which will pay for everything for me but the dr in my town don't take it and the dr that I have been going to since 95 his group won't take it. So I had to find another dr... ok why don't I trust this dr...well when you go in and you have a history of High blood presure you take it...he didn't..until I told him he better take it. All he wanted to do it send me for this test and that test...hey I am here cause I need my thyroid and my Lupus taking care of.. I will not take care of the lupus and I will not give you Plaquenil, that is a too danger of drug to be messing with. Ok fine where do we go from here. Have to send you to a rummie..ok fine I should be going to one anyway for the Lupus. But the one he sending me to is 1 1/2 hour drive a way from my home. And if you know about Lupus you know that I can't handle that. So I go in June ok fine what am I to do for the next couple of month...I have to have my Plaquenil for the lupus...ok I will give it to you this time. Ok how about the thyroid? Told him how my neck swell up and my hubby told him yea she looked like a buck in heat.. Now if you were a dr wouldn't you of a least feel my neck and see what was going on? Well he didn't. All he did was order this test. T4,Total - T4 Thyroid Stim Hormone-TSH T3 Now we have to take care of that bp... I have htn bp and everytime I go to the dr with being in a very small room and no window my bp goes way up. But with the other dr I alway kept track of it on this paper he gave me and that is what he went by. Not this dr he didn't even want to look at it. That is when my hubby my stepped in. At home I can keep my bp down but as soon as I go to the dr it goes up 178/100. Old dr said that I have white coat something...and that we can't go by what your bp is in here. My dad is the same way. As soon as I get the new test result I will posted them. Thank you for any help on this. Linda Sorry I forgot to take my sig off..Please for give me.. Thank you all for your reply to my org posted.
