I have read on here that some mention a "green book" can anyone enlighten me as to what the book is and how would I get one? I have MPA diagnosed nearly two years ago now and would like more information as when I get to see the Dr. I know what questions I should be asking him

Hi Bri,

It was me that mentioned the " Green Book ". It's actually the Vaccinations guidelines and not anything to do with Vasculitis. I quoted from it in a response to a question about immunosupression and chickenpox.

There is a a lot of information about Vasculitis on the VUK website, including a page on MPA. There are also the BSR guidelines for the management of ANCA associated Vasculitis ( of which MPA is a variant ) but they are very technical and difficult to understand without medical knowledge.

Are you concerned about any aspects of your treatment?

Hi Keyes and thanks for getting back with my query! No I don't have any concerns at the moment thanks, I mistook your note about the green book ant thought that it may have had some significance to MPA. I will take a peek at the vuk page later.

Cheers.

Bri.
