Henoch-Schonlein: Be thankful that you're basically okay. This can be very serious in an older person. Expect a review of your labs, and if the rheumatologist is like most, a caring, unhurried practitioner who encourages you to ask questions. Your joints, skin, renal and perhaps GI function will all get discussed. I hope your course is mild and the disease remits.
