Azathioprine for PACNS?
Last month I was diagnosed with PACNS, or Primary CNS Vasculitis. I've been taking daily prednisone and the plan was for monthly infusions of Cytoxan. When I visited my rheumatologist this month, he recommended switching to daily Azathioprine instead of the Cytoxan. I've only had one infusion of the

27yo male in my 5th year after being diagnosed with igA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)
I was diagnosed with IGAN in 2013. Back then it wasn't bad. Can't remember what my GFR was at the time but I felt fine and didn't take the diagnosis seriously at all. So 4 years go by and I decide I should probably at least get it checked up on. These are the results of my blood work from 5/17: Protein

Widespread Clotting despite High INR: Adandondment of Warfarin being advised: Begin instead begin IV Cytoxan, Antiplatet, and DOAC -
This is the back of my leg ( just above the bend of my knee ) yesterday. My arms are clotting also. When I clot, I tend to clot “ every where at once.” It’s like my body gets “ rushed “ with antibodies. I have not had any kind of dip in INR to cause this. My INR is set at about 4.0. I am in 16.75 mg

Other Options When Usual Options Fail?
So I’ve likely had GI issues and some neurological issues going back to childhood, but I was an anxious clumsy child, and they seemed to improve somewhat in my teens. Maybe improved isn’t the right word, but theystopped getting worse. I was plagued by bouts of canker sores, then the fatigue and muscle

Answers please!!!!
Can someone give me an idea of a typical cycle of prednisone and cytoxan for a person with wegeners? Like how long they should be taken and how many milligrams. I know it is different depending on the person and condition but are there some guidelines to follow? I would appreciate any help or feedback

Help!
My mom was diagnosed with Wegeners about 2 months ago. She was responding well to treatment. However, I noticed that she would forget little things or say things wrong. Nothing too alarming but just one week ago she literally drove from her house and got lost! She parked her car, got out and wandered

Chemo
I am 63. On the 19th of January I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. I will begin chemo next week. I will have Taxotere and Cytoxan. I'm not sure I'm spelling them correctly. Also anyone have experience with the Penguin Cold Cap to keep your hair? Any advice appreciated

POTS? Is it possible...
Like many Behcet's patients I had a lot of specialists before I had a diagnosis, and more afterwards. One of these was a cardiologist. For years I had had issues with dizziness, sweating, and blood pressure spikes. After I began having palpitations, I was put through a cardiac echo and fitted with a

Legs? I sure hope that it won't come in curly. I don't need a curly mustache lol. What about weight gain?

Has anyone had eight months of treatment using Rituxan and Treanda (bendamustine)
Has anyone had eight months of treatment using Rituxan and Treanda (bendamustine) instead of the manufacture recommendation of six months? If yes, did you get longer remission time? History: CLL diagnosed in 2004. On W&W until October 2007. Treatment began using Leukkeran (chlorambucil) dexamethasone

Liver involvement...
Went to visit my new rheumy last week. She was fantastic! Especially in comparison to my last one, he wasn't very supportive at all. But it was refreshing to actually get some answers, even if they weren't all that positive. With my old rheumy, I would have to nag to get any answer from him and that
