I had seen this doctor years ago and was informed by him that I had Sjogren's Disease, it is an auto immune disease.  I have felt bad for almost a year, dealing with a few different docs and them coming up with nothing,  so I insisted on other blood tests, finally I was told to go to a Rheumatologist again, so I went back to this one.  I have had to be off from work due to my constant fatigue, pain and stiffness.  When my internist referred me out for this care, I would felt he would understand I can't lost my job, but I can't work right now until I feel better, and he based his decision of not helping me keep my job, he told me to get another doctor to keep me off from work, I was not asking for indefinitely, just until I could get some care and feel better.  So, I left and will seek a more professional, caring and understanding physician.  Good luck in your search also. Also, he does not keep his appointment times either and his staff is not welcoming or friendly.  Good luck!!
