Great news! I get to see Dr. Rye!
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2020 9:40 pm
I posted this in a different thread yesterday, but since it got no views, I'm creating this new topic. I am rather new to these boards: joined RLS.org in August, but only started here last month. Had considerable difficulty trying to get infusions for low ferritin, but my rheumatologist came through for me and I started infusions this Tuesday.
As though that weren't enough to make me happy, yesterday (Wednesday) I received a phone call from Emory University in Atlanta, GA that Dr. Rye had a cancellation and could see me next week! (I live in Birmingham, AL, about 2.5 hours away.) I had called them a week or two ago to see if I could get in but figured that with the huge backlog at Emory it would take until well into next year to get to see him. I was extremely excited to get to see him so soon but took a chance and asked if there were any chance he had an opening during my husband's vacation time in 2 weeks. Another miracle: they had a cancellation there as well!
I don't know how many of you believe in the power of prayer, but my husband and I have been praying a special 54-day novena (Catholic-speak for what is usually 9 days of prayer, but this was a super duper novena). Things were looking very very bleak during most of it, but here I am with 6 days to go and I've not only got iron infusions but I've got an appointment with an RLS rock star! Was it ViewsAskew who told me about Dr. Rye actually having RLS himself?
So happy today!
