Meloxicam For Ra 5+ Years Ago-now Told I Do Not Have

Updated

My doctor diagnosed me with RA October 2011 and prescribed Meloxicam 15mg. I asked for the bloodwork to show my pain doctor and was told by his PA that my bloodwork does not show I have RA. I am in complete shock!!! 1st, why would he do this and 2nd, will taking this for all these years without having RA cause issues? I am having bouts of diarrhea and just had a colonoscopy and an upper GI is scheduled next month. I have extreme shortness of breath but doctor says it is my nerves & there is nothing wrong with me although I pulled reports from where I get all my tests and it shows emphysema, COPD, degenerative disc disease, bone spurs, mild scoliosis and endobronchial mucous plugs in both lungs. I was hospitalized in 2013 with COPD and he says it was asthmatic bronchitis. I just found out about all this and am worried he may have done something else so he can bill insurance for it. I would think that's what he's doing since I looked at my chart in his portal and he is listing all kinds of things that had already been addressed previously. Does he get more $$ for more diagnosis codes he presents for billing? I'm thinking that is what is going on. I am still just absolutely floored he would do this! I thought he really cared about my health but when I brought in all the reports to ask about the endobronchial mucous plugs, he became very hostile and said there was nothing wrong with me or my lungs and refused to refer me to a pulmonologist. He said it was all my nerves. I said great but I still am losing my breath walking across a room and even sitting down writing in a journal. He mumbled something and left. I'm just in complete shock he would do such a thing + I had not seen 90% of the reports I pulled down and learned a lot about what I didn't know I had. Why would they do this??? WOW!!!
