The first thing your mother should do is get a doctor who is more concientious about addressing your mother's problems. I have psoriatic arthritis and it took me over a year before I found a doctor to make my myriad of symptoms serious, diagnose me and work WITH me to develop a way to treat my specific symptoms. You should feel your medical provider is working in partnership with you--not treat you like a number of $. Don't be afraid to tell him/her you do not feel your needs are being adequately addressed.
