Hi,

Sorry to hear that you have been in hospital for a month. What type of Vasculitis have you been diagnosed with ( there are over 18 different types ) and what treatment have you been given?

Some types of Vasculitis can cause a stroke and also peripheral neuropathy which can make walking very difficult.

Vasculitis is a rare, complex disease and needs expert treatment. There are relatively few Consultants up and down the country who are very knowledgable. I don't know where you are treated but if your Dr's are struggling there are quite a few multi disciplinary Vasculitis clinics that they could contact for advice.
