Hi, 
Im thinking of going to the Private London Lupus Centre for a consultation and to find out once and for all whether i have Lupus or not
My problem is, i have to get a referral letter from my GP, and am scared she wont do it, as i had all the lupus blood tests a few months ago and they came back negative. However i have since learnt that blood tests are not always positive and you can still have lupus, this is why im hoping to go to see a specialist at the Lupus Centre.
Any advice on how to approach my GP to ask her for a referral?!? I dont want to undermine her and i want to keep her on my side as shes been the only person to really stick by me through all of this :worried:
Also any advice on which specialist I should ask to see at the Lupus centre as there are a few there.
Thanks, any help greatly appreciated!
