Hope all goes well. I know it's all very scary, but at least you're getting close to answers. x

Hi Jennyall12,

How did you get on at your appointment?

We can provide you with LUPUS UK contacts who you can speak to over the telephone. These contacts are volunteers who mostly have lupus themselves; they are not medically trained but are there to offer support and understanding. If you would like a local contact to speak to, you can email me at chanpreet@lupusuk.org.uk

Hi jennyall12 , can I ask how your haematologist appt went? My bloods are always low too but my haematology appt a few years ago didn't reveal anything more than some possible bone marrow depression by methotrexate. I'm no longer on the MTX but things have continued to fall gradually.

Hope it wasn't as stressful as you expected. Xx
