Finally!!!

I'm so relieved I wanted to share with you all my faith in GP has been restored. 2 weeks ago I was made to feel my symptoms were all in my head, today I went armed with a list to my GP which he took off me as soon as I entered. He said he loves a list and makes his job so much easier as he is restricted to 10 mins. 30 mins later he had been through the whole list and agreed that I need to be referred to a rheumatologist. Wahoo!! I just hope I get a good one and finally a diagnosis. Light at the end of the tunnel?? I hope so waited years for this

Sounds promising! Good for the GP for not only liking lists but getting to the end of one. Deserves a ⭐️

Good luck for tomorrow. My best advice would be you know your body, you are your best advocate so don't let them fob you off

Brilliant news! Sounds like a good GP, read your list, listened and believed you. I hope you don’t have to wait too long for a Rheumy appointment. Best wishes.

Hi there and welcome, I haven't been diagnosed with lupus but I suspect it because when I read the symptoms of those that sadly do, I feel so many similarities. May I ask what was on your list? Keen to know if it's anything like mine?

Best Wishes for the rheumy appt.
