New to Vasculitis, Advice on symptoms and diagnosis please ?
Last year I developed a burning painful rash of red spots on both legs, feet and arms. I have SLE, Sjogrens, Raynauds and APS so thought it must be connected with one of those. Rash lasted 7 weeks but as it took 7 months to get an urgent appointment at St Thomas the rash had gone. But on the evidence

CNS Vasculitis - Stopping medication
It's just coming upto 4 years ago since I was diagnosed with CNSV. I me with my consultant last month, who suggested that it maybe time for me to wean off of the meds as I have had no flares. He said he'd discuss it with my rheumatologist in Oxford and to carry on taking the drugs until I hear differently

I would like to know, please, Has any doctor who treats you for your Vasculitis ever advised you not to have a tattoo?
I would like to ask a question, because so many people who have Vasculitis do ask me this question about tattoos on a regular basis. As far as I am aware "no doctor would give his approval for an unnecessary procedure that has the potential to expose anyone with Vasculitis to infection". I also believe
