Hi Loubielou, Silvermyst is organising a Sheffield Meeting in March (23rd I think) check out her post as that's not too far away from you. Hope all goes well with diagnosis too:)

Hi

I'm in west yorkshire, Huddersfield - no formal diagnosis of SLE - just UCTD, limited scleroderma, Vit B12 deff, Rynauds... Positive ANA (has been for 3 yrs) and Ro positive. I feel I do have SLE though.

Hospital have been very dismissive and uninterested - never see same Doctor twice. and the all contradict each other!!!

Have appt in March when I will be asking more questions.

Which hosp do you attend??

Would be great to meet someone local.

Hi I'm in Halifax and also go to Chapel Allerton been diagnosed since I was 17 and I'm 47 now and also have APS. It's good to know others in the same position live near! Hope you get the answers you're looking for, always easier to deal with when you know what you're up against and also have others to support you x

THanks guys, rheumatolgist ruled it down to connective tissue but She wasn't sure which lol but she's fairly confident its sle and so am I tbh. Just Trying to get used to all the aches pains and tablets, learning my boundries aswell. Once I get everything sorted and I know what's going on we could all meet somewhere? LIke starbucks in bradford? Or wherever isn't mega far from my lads nursery lol Xx

Hi, there's a little lupus group that meets at Chapel Allerton hospital in Leeds on the first Thurs of every month 10am to 1pm. If you go to Rheumy outpatients, they'll direct you to the room.
