Hi Reidy I have WG as well. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. Where do you live & where are you treated? What treatment are you having at the moment? If there is something specific you want to ask, let me know.If you can come to our meeting, we can give you leaflets & have a chat. It can be a long road with this illness & it's hard when no-one has heard of it because it's rare.

Best wishes Sue

Currently on Prednisone and AZATHIOPRINE along with various blood pressure meds. Being treated at the Royal renal unit. I live in Prescot.

I've nothing specific to ask, I'm just having difficulty adapting to my 'new normal'.

If I may I will try to attend the meeting.

Hi Mike if you want to ring or meet, I am happy to do so. There are 3 of us who help to run the Support Group at the hospital. Dave, Keith & me. Dave & Keith live nearby & I live in Chester. Most of the people who come to the meetings are treated at the Royal. Dr Harper & Sarah are very good. Most people with WG end up on Prednisolone and an immuno suppressant like Azathioprine. I assume that you are in remission. It's hard to deal with the effects of the illness but things do improve slowly but coming to terms with it all takes a while. My number is 07929738947

Best wishes Sue
