Finally got round to speaking to my GP as am keen to investigate whether childhood UP has developed into my adulthood. To say it was a bit of a disaster would be an understatement. I made it very clear from the start I was asking for a referral to a specialist but, having never heard of UP, he just wouldn't listen to what I was saying in relation to symptoms and my own research. I am hoping that someone might be able to recommend a specialist (I'm currently based in North Yorkshire but would be happy to travel when allowed) ideally NHS but if necessary will definitely consider private. Please do let me know as I think it's looking as though I'll need to find a way to somehow get around my GP. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi Sophie, sorry this went unanswered for a few days! We are madly preparing for our upcoming conference tomorrow : ). It might be a help to chat about what symptoms you're having so we can think about which type of specialist would be most suitable. Very happy to set up a time to talk (or we can stick to email if you prefer). My address is jess.hobart@ukmasto.org. I'm sorry you had a challenging time with you GP on the first go round. Let's see if we can provide exactly the info that's needed to this next time is a success! Best wishes, Jess
