I'm a member of the IBS site via the IBS Network & searched out the vasculitis site when my husband had HSP. It was very comforting to find a group that understood what HSP was as very few people had heard of it. Thank you.

I was a member of the Stewart Strange trust since 1996. Dr. Martin Lockwood introduced me to it.

web search MPA

I'm a member of Health Unlocked and browsed through the site sections.

I googled my symptoms and it came up with a post on the HU vasculitis group. It was through this group I found out about Vasculitis UK and all it does, including the support groups. Often wondered why there there was no leaflet from the hospital, like other charities do.

VUK share many leaflets with the medical profession :-) and hospitals. There are over 150 doctors plus nurses on the VUK mailing list. :-)

I thought as much, I wasn't doubting the work of VUK :-)

Came across it whilst googling vasculitis.

I already belonged to other communities on HU, so when I was diagnosed with Vasculitis, I searched for a community for it, so I joined. Then I found out about Vasculitis UK.

When our local support group was started in Liverpool about 18 months ago, this website was given out to everyone, and is SO useful.

I'm not certain. It was either the vuk website or intensive Google searches on the topic of MPA vasculitis.

I am not sure - I think it was searching on the web for as much information as possible about Wegeners GPA. I am so glad I found it.

Dear Susan,

I know that this is going to sound completely stupid but I have actually forgotten, how I first came across you. Thinking about it there is some information, regarding 'Vasculitis UK', at Addenbrooke's Hospital-and in the Transplant Unit. Though I have a feeling that I might have heard of you before that (scratch head)?????

I don't suppose that my answer has been of any help, at all, has it?

In any event I wish you John, and all your family, a happy and peaceful Christmas-not forgetting a Happy New Year.
