What should I do 🙄

[Byjingo]

Recently diagnosed with lupus by GP who has referred me to rheumatologist but asked which hospital I would like to go to. I'm confused what to say and which is best for me. Any advice welcome. Thanks

If you are in the UK see this:

lupusuk.org.uk/centres-of-e...

Excellent site for good up to date information on all things "Lupus"

As Baba says check the link, but also bear in mind you may be going there regularly. I have RA & Discoid lupus and live in Kent. I’m currently under 2 hospitals in Kent & London. It can become tiring and time consuming! Good luck with it all x
