Not sure if this helps but here we go, I have AAV which is Anca associated vasculities in my case that means a high positive Anca I have a drop left foot due to nerve damage also numbness in right foot kidney damage,numbness in my fingers etc.
I think the correct way of describing my vasculities is GPA and MPA it's still all a bit new to me but I hope this helps.
Just to mention I have the following items checked on various occasions ears,eyes,heart,lungs and kidneys.
Hi, as above really. I am ANCA positive MPA, have kidney, lung, ENT slight involvement,
Numbness in both feet and right hand, hand slowly resolving. Get small vascular sores occasionally and some underneath bleeding into my skin lower arms.
In answer to your actual question 'What sort of Vasculitis is this', my answer is simple 'F....d if I know', sorry to be a bit crude but vasculitis yes, almost certainly, but what sort......Now that IS the question! I had a skin rash, on my legs, for years- undiagnosed until I collapsed, that is! The other symptoms do sound very akin to vasculitis, to me, and clearly to 'everyone else' too.
Is this yourself, your referring to, or someone else- a family member perhaps? Whoever it is I do wish them well Luggsey. meantime take care of yourself.
