Waited over a year to see the Rheumatologist

I do agree I may have a CTD because I have hypermobility. I tried to show the rheumatologist when they asked me to touch my toes and I palmed the floor and he just ignored me. I even made a point of saying my spine is def a bit hypermobile. As are my knees and fingers and etc. Even my skin can stretch. No attention was paid to anything. I think I was disadvantaged being sent to a specialized clinic for psoriatic arthritis. All regular rheumatologist have declined my referrals due to long wait lists post covid.

I did get my last 2 higher labs done in flares but I was definitely good the day of my appt unfortunately. I feel it's just a waiting game.

I will ask about that medication though!
