Hello, I can understand you English. I have good news for you, a medical centre named after Professor Graham Hughes, opened in Portugal, I enclose details about the doctor you need to contact - med.ub.es/MIMMUN/PERSONAL/C...

A new medical centre opened in Portugal named after Professor Hughes - Graham Hughes Centre for Autoimmune Diseases

Often as well as the Hughes Syndrome/APS you will also have tests for Vitamin D, B12 and Iron (Ferritin), and also your Thyroid looked at. Please let us know how it goes with contacting the clinic and this doctor.

Hi and welcome to our friendly site!

We can understand you quite well. Do you know if your Doctor has done the 3 bloodtests required for Hughes Syndrome/APS and if they were positive? Then you should have a diagnose of Hughes Syndrome/APS.

Fantastic that MaryF has found information about the new opened center in Portugal. It can be very difficult to get this Specialist who we need very much as this illness is rare and rather new (33 year). In some countries there are very very few Doctors specialized in autoimmun illnesses.

Hope you can get in contact with that Center. I am very happy for you.

Take care and Best wishes from Kerstin in Stockholm
