    I'm confused too! Never heard of it. There is a specialist hospital in Bath but I don't think it is for kids, though I may be wrong. Don't know anythinng about it im afraid.
    I'd get in touch with whoever referred you and get some clarification. Looks like we'll both be on the phone to the hospital on monday morning. (Thanks to your reply to my post and your support. Feel better today and the tablets went down better this am.)
    Let me know what you find out.

    Never heard of it either. Our referral to Bristol was excessively quick, we saw local hossie on 1st December and was up Bristol on 10th :shock: since then we've had letters from bristol hospital with appointments and other info and never had anything from them. Def worth calling up whoever referred you. If you need the numbers of the Bristols team secretary to see if you (well Jordon) are in the system pm me and I'll let you know. We're up there again on Thursday.

    Dr Clinch does clinics at our local hossie too, we have to go up there this time as she's not down at ours till December (earliest) and they want to keep tabs on Kayleigh. I've seen her at our local hossie twice and this will be the second clinic up at bristol to see her but we have seen her more than that as she popped in to see us for MRI and our stay in bristol last month. Seen Dr Ramanan once for her joint steroid injections, he was very nice to. When she comes down to do clinic don't worry about the amount of people she has with her. She will def have Helen Strike (rheumy nurse) and a couple others, when she comes down to our local hossie we have our consultant, dr clinch, helen strike, and a couple of others think there was 6 of them in all last time but that's cause physio came in as well.
