What Is The Cause To Change My Current Medication For Lupus?
My name is Sheryl and I recently have found a new primary care doctor, as mine retired from an office I was in for over 45 years....I have Lupus (since 15) and they asked me why my doctor, their partner kept me in the office and not a rheumatoid specialist! I started with Mark Dodge who passed 30 some years ago and Dr. Sharma has kept me completely healthy......now all the primary care doctors want to change my medicine or take me off of all my Medrol that has kept me healthy...I'm 68!!! Why can't they let me continue on my current medication that has NEVER caused me a problem? Is there a primary care doctor that will not change what is not broken (so to speak)? Thankyou for the answer.
