I have been been suffering with Lupus SLE and Discord and I also suffered a heart attack a year ago which a stint has been place and because of that I was seeing a phsychaitris for anxiety for fear of dying in my sleep.  My Lupus causes extreme pain that affects my joints and I have been seeing a dr. in Tampa for 2 yrs and suddendly she is no longer in practice which cause me to be hospitilize on 10/15 for 4 days at Fawcett Memorial Hospital because of the extreme pain i had, and I also thought I was having another heart attack which ended up being a very bad anxiety attack,  Im looking for a dr which can help me with my pain which I have a dr. that has referred me to pain management.  The problem is no dr can see me until the end of Dec 2013 or Jan. 2014.  What can I do?
HIT hank for asking to Chat Doctor I really understand your pain but no need to worry it will go to alright soon first thing you need to do is just relax bring your confidence back, say that it will be alright keep your moral very high, this pain won't hurt you anymore, I would advise you to start the corticosteroids start with 40 mg thrice in day and then tapered it gradually to 10 mg once in day within 12 days, you will get good result I would be happy to help you for further question or advise have nice day.
