Rheumatologist in Shropshire

Hi, I have recently moved house from London to Shropshire and for the past 6 years, I have seen a Rheumatologist in SE London. For the last 4 1/2 years, I have been on Humira (for psoriaric arthritis) and my specialist nurse has gained funding approval from my new (& local) Commissioning Group to take over the funding for the Humira.
I am slightly concerned that when I am referred to a new rheumatologist that they may not want to continue prescribing the Humira which would be disastrous! I was therefore wondering if anyone can recommend a good rheumatologist in the Shropshire area.
Many thanks.

So, a good rheumatologist is one who will keep you on humira - that's a new take on matters. Please give the new one a chance, I am sure he will look at your notes, see that it's helping you and therefore keep you on it. If not then start searching for one who will. I too am on humira and it's lovely to read of those for whom it works as it should. Good luck with the future and I hope you are able to stay on it. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Sorry, I can't help but, from what you've written, I think it'd be surprising if you were taken off humira. I can appreciate your fears, however. With luck, someone from Shropshire will see this. I checked out the 'In your area' button at the top of the page and all I could find was this
