Kidney Dysfunction in Lupus: Re: More Doctors

You sweet thing! Keep your chin up, and if I've learned anything from my experience, and growing up with my mother's illnesses, it's to through the docor's answers back in their face. They tell you No, you can't go see a specialist, tell them No, you can't do what I need you to do, so send me to someone who can. Be the squeaky wheel, sweety. You have no idea how many times my mother's transcript has been noted "at patience insistence," and then the docs have gone back and corrected their mistake . . . I don't remember which discussion I posted it in, but the story of how I got here (on earth) and that it was basically because my mother said No until she found the right doctor.
Keep your faith . . . what doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger.
Also, have you looked into getting a Rascal? The little motorized scooter wheel chair thingy. I know a couple of people that have them (my grandfather in law and a good family friend) and I know that sometimes they will work with you insurance, and if that doesn't work, they may still work with you on payments, discounts or even donateing the unit for free. I don't know a telephone number, but your local pharmacy would probably have some info.
