I had my hemotologist office fax labs and all to the University of Texas, Health and Science Center, in San Antonio Tx. I got a call this morning, Dr Brey will take me as a patient! I am,giddy, thankful and so glad. My appt. Is March 27. I WILL UPDATE AFTER. Thank all of you for your wise counsel, !

Is this Doctor a Hematologist? No one here in rural Missouri seems to know much about it. Just wounding. Tonight I have about 10 lbs of extra fluid due to swelling and I am so frustrated....

Mayo Clinic has Rheumatologists who understand APS and Autoimmune Diosrders....Centers in Arizona,Florida and Minnesota.......go to their website.....they have links to specialists around the US...

[tchance11 in reply to Silent1]

Actually, a neurologist, as so many symptoms mimic neurological disorders.

Best wishes....glad to know the US has a specialist in Texas.....I live in New York and the Hospital for Special Surgery/Rheumatology Department in New York City is doing research on APS...have asked me to donate blood sample

Hi! A doctor in NYC is trying to get me in to see Dr. Brey because I live in Fredericksburg Tx. How do you like her? Also, who is your hematologist?
