They have checked my Thyroid checked for C.O.P.D & everything has come bk clear? I've been waiting 11 weeks now since my G.P. Faxed the letter to hospital for C.T Scan'

Call your GP back and don't stop Doctor bothering until you get some help. Literally phone bomb them. If that doesn't work - turn up at the practice.

If that doesn't work, go to a 'large' hospital Emergency center and see if they can help you faster. SLE patients need a TEAM of specialists to help us. A hospital is sometimes the best place to find that team when things get bad.

It wouldn't hurt to try at least. If one ER spits you out - try another.

People like us need a super specialist. Unfortunately we have to settle for referral after referral which in some circumstances takes too long.

Try anything to speed up the process - no matter how dramatic is seems.
