Relapsing Polychondritis

Okay so after moaning about waiting for a diagnosis last week I have now received the news that my results strongly suggest I have the above condition which is rare. It appears to only be affecting my trachea/bronchi but the research I have carried out so far paints a fairly bleak picture. Any good support groups, research, articles anyone knows of for me to look at?

Long words which I'm afraid don't mean anything to me!! Why don't you try the BLF Helpline - they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Good luck, and do let us know. By the way, anything you Google sounds bleak!!

Look on facebook for relapsing polychondritis, there are 2 support groups. The .org in USA is the best one. I have found this group to be excellent support and give great information.
