That can depend on a number of factors and so isn't easy to answer. What is important is to ensure your mother is treated by a consultant with experience and knowledge of the disease. I've had gpa for 17 years - long before rituximab was available as a treatment - and am still going strong as are many others.
Yes she was treated by we'll known rheumatologist. In pune ,Maharashtra, India.
She has swelling in her boday. Mostly on her face is that the part of this gpa or side effects of her medicines.
Now days she is not able to walk with her right leg. Is that leg temporarily affected .
I had PAN when I was 21yrs and now GPA at 51yrs, Im 55yrs and still kicking......it depends on how soon it is found and get under control.....
