I currently dont have a specialist montioring my condition or giving advice to my GP. My old consultant as just signed my off and said look it life long all you need to do is take warfrain or clexane and see your GP for the rest of it.

I live in East Yorkshire. I go to St Thomas's in London, to the Louise Coote Lupus Clinic, who have specialists in APS. I go once a year or more if required. It is worth the journey. I was diagnosed by Dr G Hughes, who discovered APS. If you can go to London, ask your GP to refer you. Its wrong that you have been signed off with only your GP for support. Hope this is helpful.
