    Hi Jake.. I agree with Pete.you gotta do what you gotta do. This is you life you are talking about not hers. And if she won't refer you, go to another dr. that will and drop her all together. Good luck and welcome to the forum by the way ! Things will get better,you just have to get the right dr.

    Welcome, Jake. Yes, find a doctor who will refer you to Addenbrooke's. It can be any doctor who takes you seriously. WG is not something to play around with. Since you have the nasal issues, perhaps a good ENT would be the one to refer you and maybe even to do a nasal biopsy. Those aren't always conclusive, but mine was, and it can't hurt to give it a shot.

    Hi Jake and welcome to the group.

    Just because you have all of those symptoms, does not mean that you definitely have WG/GPA, but there is only one way to find out.
    My family doctor was so insistent that she could fix any of my issues, that she refused to give me a referral to an ENT. Boy did she find out the hard way, that she was so wrong. Now she is wonderful and will do anything to help me feel better.

    I so hope that you do not have WG but it is better to rule it out, than to not find out at all and suffer because of it.
    Yes, you will have to get a little pushy but in the long run, you and your doctor will be pleased to have some answers or some ruled out.

    All the best of luck as you travel this unknown journey.
    Keep Smiling
