Best of luck finding someone. I've heard there are a couple in Ocala that are good....but remember if she needs hospitalization ever, with her issues she'd have to go up there. Plus how would she get up there for her app'ts, unless she lives with you. Does she have a primary here?? Maybe start there and that person can help you. I see Dr.Sullivan in the Specialty Clinic but have heard she's not taking new patients. I was diagnosed in 2011 after suffering for a handful of years. I've gone the route with pain management but they do steroid shots and they didn't work long term for me. I'm currently on Methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I can't take nsaids so she has me on a muscle relaxant when pain comes along with acetametaphine. I've done the prednisone thing but long term wouldn't want to do it.
