My WG latest update etc.

I've seen Dr Jayne today. Back on course for Rituximab, but not until liver results are back to normal, after being affected by Azathioprine.

Should be getting appointment with plastic surgeon with view to having reconstruction on my nose, but this may not happen for another six months.

Hip scan results a bit puzzling, as they show right worse than left, but left is the one I get more pain from. However, damage seems not to be related to vasculitis. Probably getting referral to Mr Keane, orthopaedic specialist.

This sounds like good news for your Suffolk Girl. I hope the Rituximab makes you feel better. At least you have an appointment with the plastic surgeon and an end in sight.

Good luck

Hi also a Dr Jayne patient, but also previous to my vasculitis diagnosis had both my hips replaced at separate occasions by the lovely Mr Keane. Your in safe hands there. Busy time ahead for you all the best. Pam
