I think I'm finally done doctor hopping for the time being, phew! I drove over the Philly yesterday and met with Dr. Lan Chen, who is a rheumatologist who also does acupuncture. She was very nice, good bedside manner, very knowledgeable about lupus, and a good communication style. She also knows the Dr. Werth, who is a medical dermatologist who specializes in lupus and is part of the same healthcare system. So *finally* I am happy with my doc!! Between her, and my great primary care physician and my local acupuncturist, I should be all set.
When I look back over the past year and a half of docs, each doctor was missing a key piece that I've now found in this doc, so I feel OK that it took me a while to get here...it's been quite a learning experience, really.
So, the bad news...I'm feeling pretty poorly. It was pretty hard to get out of bed this morning, my upper body ached all over, from my scalp to my hips, with my shoulders being particularly painful. It's making it very difficult to figure out what to do with my life, working and childcare-wise. I'm also weaning my 2 year old son, so that's stressful, too, oh boy.

Hi there ...
I am hoping you can help me rally all the "lupus troops."
March 3, 2009 is the Lupus Foundation of America’s 11th Annual Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. Even if you cannot physically join us on Tuesday, there are still several things you – and your family and friends – can do to help raise awareness about the seriousness of lupus.
To learn all the easy things you can do from the comfort of your home, please go to http://lfa-inc.blogspot.com/2009/02/even-if-you-cannot-be-in-dc-for-lfas.html
To take it a step further, if you're willing to do so, I'd really appreciate it you would consider posting this information (what you find at the link to my blog) on your blog, and letting all your friends and family know how important this is to the lupus community.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at davis@lupus.org.
Thanks for your help.
All the best, Wick
