Just diagnosed and pregnant (again)

[INCR]

Hey everyone! I'm 30 and just have been diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome. I had a stroke 5 years ago and 2 pregnancies that didn't go well.

I am thinking about going to the The London Lupus Centre in London Bridge Hospital, although I live abroad. Can anyone recommend me a doctor? I've heard of Dr. Patrick Gordon, Dr Arvind Kaul and Dr. Natasha Jordan. It seems like Dr. Hughes does not accept new patients.

Thank you so much!

I see Dr Kaul who is excellent . A lovely and understanding Dr who listen to you . He certainly worth considering if you're looking to see one of the recommended specialist. Hope this helps good luck

As you are pregnant (Congratulations) you may be better seeing one of the listed obstetrician .You can check the list on the APS website

Welcome, It is a good idea to visit the centre, many from abroad on this forum, regularly do this. People will tell you have they have seen at that clinic MaryF

Travelling during pregnancy makes me a little nervous. I'm going to see an internal medicine doctor in August and see what she recommends! But after the pregnancy I'll go to the center for sure...
