I can hardly believe my luck! They are like gold dust. It's to check for complications after a vasculitis rash a couple of weeks ago, which i went to the hospital for. I'm afraid my kidneys are involved as I've had symptoms and it's quite common. I'm generally very fit and healthy but I'm convinced I have an underlying autoimmune problem that rears ita head with things like this every so often. It's been a few years since I saw a doctor in person (other than at the hospital recently), I'm anxious to make sure I get the help I need. Do you have any advice for GP appointments? I don't want to get fobbed off as like I've said, n the surface I look perfectly fine and I'm young (30) so they don't see past that sometimes.

Make some bullet points to focus on what you want to say and help keep you on track. Be polite but confident, and if you feel you are being dismissed or your problem is being minimised, just repeat your concern and ask how they can help.

Good luck!
