I'm new here

Hello again.
I do see a rheumatologist too but just not as often.
Actually I have an appointment in February (just checked my diary!) That's who prescribed the methotrexate to me. Now i've stopped taking that, it seems they don't know what to do with me. Apart from talk about pain management.
It was actually my GP that I had to beg to refer me to a dermatologist a few years ago as he thought my psoriasis was under control. He wouldn't do it though.
I got to see the dermatologist because the rheumatologist referred me.
All very complicated

Thanks for all your suggestions

Hi Charlotte,

The same happened in a way to me.
Strangely enough the rheumatologists did not know what to do. However there were already biologicals.
Later I mentioned DMF to him. He knew it, but did not want to prescribe it.   If I ever see the guy ever again, I certainly will kick his   **lls.

There seems to be an enormous lack of know how with the rheumatologists (but also with the dermatologists), which is at the same time enhanced by the short sighted insurance companies, as they will have to pay for everything that will happen to you when you don't get a good medication.
I hate that, as we all are paying for a great deal for the education of all these doktors. So they should be able to help us, because we have paid for them.
