I just wanted to rant a bit if that's okay.
After being dismissed at last appointment and being told that I am unlikely to have an autoimmune problem and that my symptoms are probably due to depression,I am becoming more worried about my 12 year old son.
Not only does he always have mouth ulcers,today he mentioned that his soft palate was hurting.On examination with a torch,I could see another large ulcer on the roof of his mouth.My husband took him to the G.P on Mon.and he sent my son away with mouthwash.Over the last week he has had hip pain and his possible(say that because I am trying not to diagnose!)raynaud's is getting worse.Everything seems to point to Lupus,although I obviously don't wish it.In the meantime I am concerned at the damage that may be being done to mine and my son's body whilst waiting for a diagnosis.Since yesterday ,a small ringworm type lesion has appeared on my trunk.I really feel like shouting at the doctors,but I always restrain myself as I know I am not a doctor or consultant.
I am still waiting for results from St.Thomas's.In the meantime,although I agreed to trying antidpressants last Friday my G.p ,who has been pushing for this,still has not written a prescription
what is going on?:hissy: sorry for that,made me feel a bit better though,
