Anyone with Lupus been successful getting PR visa?

[jodipodi]

Hiya....everything's getting very real for us now and I expect we'll be doing our medicals in a few months or do..

I was diagnosed with very mild Lupus, so mild that a specific marker in my bloods doesn't even show up... But my other indicators do.

My only symptoms have been fatigue, dry scalp and headache... This goes hand in hand with the secondary antiphospholipid syndrome I have.

I function normally, hold down a job and university and three kids without killing anyone...

I'm on the lowest dose of medication for thislupus - one tablet- Hydroxychloroquine - three days of the week.

I've asked my consultant to write me a letter explaining as much as possible...

But I'd love to hear from anyone who has lupus that has been successful in gaining a PR visa please....I'm getting nervous now x

I dont have it but its not just how you are now, they take into account how bad it may get in the future and how much it might cost in medicare. Hope its ok though and you can get your visa

given that this is the second medical condition you have mentioned within the context of visa applications, again, you would be wise to run both of these across an agent who specialises in medical conditions - George Lombard or Peter Bollard are generally mentioned in this regard.

I already have an agent Quoll, I've done everything advised etc....all I'm after is others experience if they have it...but thank you.

Sometimes we just need a bit reassurance from others who've done it.... maybe I'm just stressing over nothing.

Thanks x
