Help with Lab tests

Hi! I have been having severe pain in my joints in my hips and legs. After many Dr's and tons of lab work so far I have tested positive for p-anca and low creatine kinease. I'm waiting to hear back from my Dr but I'm a little impatient being as I'm only 35 and have never had problems like this before until 4 months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

The best thing to do is phone or e mail John or myself on the VUK Helpline

vasculitis.org.uk/helpline

Vasculitis is a rare, complex disease and the best chance of getting a diagnosis is to see a Consultant who has experience in diagnosing and treating it. There are pockets of excellence up and down the UK and we can advise you where your nearest experienced Consultant is.
