Hello! Thanks for your help. Regards. Joana
Prof Barry Jacobson at the Charlotte Maxeke hospital. Do not go to Dr Karen Gunthet at Floro clinic.
I am in Botswana & have seen an excellent rheumatologist in Johannesburg who follows the work of Prof Hughes et al v closely, attends all conferences etc and is willing to consider seronegative APS. Her name is Dr Du Plooy and she can be found at the Wits University Faculty Practices/Donald Gordon Medical Center where they have a group of great specialists who are all engaged in research as well as seeing patients. The APS Foundation of South Africa apssafoundation.co.za is also an excellent resource.
Dr du Plooy saved my sanity and quite possibly my future health. As she put it - what if the next attack is a stroke? You shouldn't have to wait to have a stroke before getting treatment.
Hope I'm not too late with this, do let us know how you get on
