What he said was, "There is nothing wrong." No swollen lymph nodes, nothing he could feel, see, or hear. He did talk to me for about 30 minutes; a very nice older man (well, older than me) who is a cyclist. He gave me the name of an internist at Brigham and Woman's in Boston, who is like MD to the rich and famous. He knows him socially and said I wouldn't be able to see him, but maybe someone in his group. I don't know if I want to go any further with this, I mean every part of my body has been tested, except my heart and lungs, which I can discuss with my primary care doctor. The acupuncture actually seems to be helping some of the muscular things.
When I got home, I was so pissed I told my husband I had to get outside and do something, so we went snow shoeing. The conditions were not great as I suspected and it actually made it harder. Then we went and had coffee and scones.
I see the rheumo for a follow up next week and my primary care doc the week after, so I guess I will think about what I will do next between now and then.
Thanks, everyone.
