I was in such shock when I was diagnosed, I don't even remember asking any questions. I would definitely ask about different medicine interactions and make sure the rheumy knows ALL medication she is taking, even over the counter. I take thyroid and my doc upped my calcium 4x and it sure messed with my thyroid. It took about 9 months to get it straightened out. If put on Enbrel and methotrexate, definitely ask about the risks and what to be careful about.
I also do the bioidentical hormone pellets which are inserted in my hip. My doc knows and approves. He said pellets are better because they bypass the liver and stomach.
