Yes this rheumatologist tested me for outdoor and indoor allergies?(not food) because I've been having trouble breathing since I've moved here and anaphylaxis 3 times(and he was already taking a bunch of blood for testing).

Wow... just wow. There are bad doctors everywhere. Japan is a small country but it's not that small. I have had the most luck with patient recommendations for doctors. If there is a Sjogren's support group, or even an RA, Lupus, other autoimmune support group anywhere, get in contact with them. They will be the best ones to recommend a doctor who will actually do something. Every good doctor I have found I have found this way. Good luck.
