Hello, I would just like to know if anyone is from ILL. I am in Effingham, and there seems to be a shortage of ruemy's. I was going to one in Champain, 2 hours away, turns out he was just there on a contract and he was gone after he di me.then i started going to one here in Effingham, he came here from springfield , but i did not like him at all. Now i have no idea what to do for one. I cant afford 2 drive 2 or more hours at a time to see a dr. but i really need a dr, the pain is really bad, plus i have no choice but to go back to work so we can afford to live. if anyone has an idea pls, let me know, thank you.

rheumy listings of illinois

Don't know which city is closest to you or if this will help. Some of the Dr's listed don't do patient care either. Good Luck.


Sometimes I think my body is an inflammation nation.

AS for 20 years
HLAb27+, i think there was talk a negative result at later date, but never confirmed.
Have been on many different anti- inflammatory drugs (naproxen to arthrotec to vimovo). Now off all prescription meds except occasional advil or tylenol.
Don't underestimate the power of icing (I bought the biggest ice pack i could find and it is good at numbing pain).

hey i drive about two hours each way to see the rheumy i prefer...one nice thing about rheumies,
you don't have to see 'em too often...your regular family doctor can 'maintain' you once the
rheumy has an amenable treatment program for you.

i look more for one you like and trust.
best
