Hiya Jules, its really nice to have you on the forum with us. What an amazing woman you are working will all those illnesses to deal with. I think as far as your medical goes, be pepared. Get all your meds out. Write down all your consultants/docs/ names and anyone else who deals with your particular problems. Tell it like it is, how all these things effect your quality of life. Remember, you are not on trial here, or going before the firing squad, even though it feels like it. Be yourself. Let us know how you get on.
