Isn't it fab living near the beach?
Hi Cathy
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
No, I haven't been diagnosed with SLE, but suspect that's what's going on with my body...had psychosis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, butterfly rash, high esr, high RF, lung problems, dry eye, mother with sticky blood, aunt with fybromyalgia, amongst other pains in the behind...I could be wrong...
Having problems with my GP, as he doesn't take my concerns seriously and I don't know how to ask for an MRI scan on my neck which has caused me jip since I had psoriatic arthritis in it 2 years ago...
Also do you have any idea of the 'magic' sentence to get a referral to a Rhuematolgist? I did see one when living in London and his parting shot was 'well at least you're not losing your hair', but I'm not sure this statement could qualify as a diagnosis!
If I can twist my GPs are for a referral to a specialist have you got any Kentish recommendations?
Sorry for the time lapse, am on nights at present so everything's abit topseyturvey!
Thank you again
Kindest regards
