A Young Wife’s Tale

Hello! David saw our family doctor Tuesday afternoon. We were asking if David should stop taking the methotrexate since he’s only getting worse, but our doctor said we really need to talk to the rheumy about it. He said it may be helping more than we realize. He also said that rheumatologists are “different” people. [...]

I remember calling David’s parents in the car afterwards while we drove home. They were much more upset than I was. I thought it was no big deal. We had a diagnosis. We had a plan. They were going to make David better. Everything was going to be fine.
