HI everyone,

Deb, thank you so much for all that info! I have read a lot of that information on the net and suspect I have the lupus/APA thing. I have just been to an FS who has begun testing but she was fairly dismissive. I digress. There are two things about your mail that I MUST thank you for. It reminded me that I forgot to tell the FS about the fact I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthiritis in the past, following a bout of glandular fever. So important! (hits self on the head).

Two - you said you can get your pathology results released under FOI? I just had a big argument at my GP as the receptionist would not release my records to me. Unbelievable! I am the patient and I have a right to see them for myself (IMO). Anyway, do you know how to go about this FOI request?

Thanks again, you are so right in all you have said, especially about the three separate opinions.
