It was a hard slog to get it published and took over 2 years, I was determined to do my bit and have great support. I hope the article helps people, it will reach a wide audience and hopefully educate a bit.

I am sure it will be read really widely, I have already sent it off to a few medical people who will find it very interesting MaryF

Thank you for this. We have a trainee G.P. at our surgery, who has shown a bit of interest, I am going to send her a note with a copy.

Alarmingly many of us are lucky to survive. Unfortunately my own mother didn't and diagnosis of severe 'autoimmune disease' etc was only established after her death.

I hope you will keep as well as possible xxx

APsnotFab that sounds like sun service you are getting from yourGP's it's not good enough. It feels like we have to constantly push push push. Because of the word limit my paper didn't have all the times I was admitted to hospital and fobbed off. Yes a lot of doctors and people forget that APS can pretty much target our bodies anywhere it's an intricate illness.

Thank you Tracy from across the pond. Very informative and well written. I am amazed how under diagnosed APS is here in the states and feel I have a personal obligation to share my experience. I got "shot down" on an information board by some lupus people but I don't take it personal - one person may be helped. Thanks again and bless you on this journey.
