Hello Joelf Thanks for the reply and I will take your advice and ask for the UVA1 next time, it was not possible this time as the person who does it was not available. Next Thursday I have an appointment to see my consultant rheumatologist at my local hospital and she is very good at listening and spends time with you.

Hello All, Well managed to park 5 minutes walk away from Royal Free at a cost of £6 for 4 hours which for London is reasonable. All the staff were very friendly but I do feel it was a waste of time. I was seen by a Spanish doctor who is /was being supervised, he was very pleasant but it was the same old questions that I have been asked time and time again, for some unknown reason my NHS details could not be found. I also saw the consultant Dr Ong and a dermatologist. They have decided to give me a different cream and I am to go back in 3 months. Personally a complete waste of a day but hey ho....

Hello Amanda and thanks for the message, I will be driving and am going to park at the Premier Inn. Hopefully :)

Hello, Thank you both for your replies. I will let you know how I get on. Ray

Hi, Thanks for the reply Joelf, I am hoping to drive to the hospital but understand there is a parking issue there.

Hello All I was diagnosed with Morphea in about 2013. Spent many years going back to the doctors saying something was wrong and eventually got diagnosed after having a mole removed from a dermatologist. Have patches on my back, front, legs and now sides of face but they don't really bother me, I get periods of cramp in my legs and lately aches in my arms and elbows. Have seen a specialist at Southend Hospital who is really caring and I have been referred to The Royal Free in London which I am dreading, hate travelling to London but hey ho.
