Completely fed up taking steroids for wegeners, have to take sleeping pill. MMF intake seems to require drinking lot of water.

Mentally worst affected. Restlessness and lack of coordination of ideas. Hope this too will pass.

Thank you dear ijeasike. Suffering from Wegeners from last almost 7 years (complete in Feb. 2014). Have had 8 relapses, at present it is 8th relapse. Taking Ristova 8th time. Will be hospitalized on 9th Nov. again for two doses of Ristova. Hope this time I am cured for long. My work as a lecturer keeps me going, talking is exhausting but my subject being philosophy, I manage well with Yoga. But still the brain goes hey-wire, what to do? Some times I am in emptiness. From 60 Kg (ofcourse five years back) to 78 Kg now, do lot of walking, Yoga and try hard to occupy myself. In fact force my self. Thank you for partaking in my experience. Will have to tell doc. what I feel. With warm regards.
