Okay Then#I just need a rheumatologist that’ll actually examine me. not gaslight me and try to remove my diagnosis#and actually Consider my tendons as a comorbidity for the AS if not diagnose the tendons themselves/put some weight behind a referral#oh yeah. and if I’m put back on a biologic…for gods sake. I need something for the resulting skin infections/scarring/open sores too#but yeah. really need the tendons diagnosed to have a roasted rat’s hope in hell of actually getting medicaid to cover mobility aids#like finger splints and compression gloves#and tbh I probably will need things like soft braces for my knees and compression shorts for my hips or…something#idk even for my shoulders and neck though.#…maybe a back brace for my lower spine for driving? still doesn’t help the arms but#but…I’m also not gonna be surprised if ya girl will be an occational cane or wheelchair user in the next 5 years#but…hey. leg mobility devices are more Obvious and therefore Might Actually Get Accomidations#whereas hand ones…really do not. at all.#despite if you don’t have full use of your hands…there’s really Nothing you can do
