Hello!

I'm new here, and am wondering if anyone has tips on how to get into rheumatology faster when there's flare ups? Live in a rural area where there are shortage of specialists. Thinking of flying to CA to get care there - ins. will cover but is this a good idea?

    Hello @csme and welcome to the Community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.

    I understand that you want to try and get medical help, but I am guessing from your comment that you do not like in the UK. We are a UK charity so whilst you are welcome to join in the Community discussions we would be unlikely to help you with your dilemma. That said it s good to see you here and I hope that you keep posting and let us know how you are getting on.

    With very best wishes
