Very kind …

Yes I’m in the Pacific Northwest. We actually had her at Saint Joseph Hospital in Bellingham and they want us to see a rheumatologist. I think her name is Stephanie Miller. She used to work at John Hopkins. She needs to be on prednisone right away because they’ve been giving her high dose steroids through intravenous feed.

I understand that the University of Washington Roosevelt has a fast track clinic for GCA , and of course they have a pretty good reputation for research and maybe they would be good to get hooked up with ..the doctor said he would refer me if we wanted a referral (I brought the U up)…but he said that may take some time to get in but right now she needs to be set up with a rheumatologist locally to get on the prednisone.
