Question: I have had a two year illness with several health issues. I have had a micro vascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia in January 2015. This relieved the severe pain on the left side of my face, helped me get off of high doses of tegretol. But I still have numbness on the left side of my face and moderately painful headaches. I am being treated for TMJ and wear a mouth appliance at night, this will help lessen the headaches for a week or so and then I have to go back for a readjustment every 2 weeks. This has been occurring for a year. My ANA is positive on my blood work and I've had muscle and joint pain for the past 6 months. My vision is frequently blurry especially when the headache is bad. I am unable to go without naproxen 1000mg daily. My headache never goes away. It leaves me with fatigue and no energy. My doctor doesn't know what do do to help me. I've been told I may have to live with this. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for me.
Thank you, XXXXXXX

I have been told I don't have lupus. My CK was 103. The Dr said I didn't have enough symptoms for Lupus. Who should I ask to see a rheumatoidologist?
