This site is great for information. I also find the Facebook Vasculitis Uk forum great for support. Methyl pred is worth waiting for: it kept me going till I got my Rituximab last autumn. Take care...

not a facebook gel - should be in hospital : live down the road from Adds. where I'm under the special vasculitis team. Day treatment in infusion clinics or admissions if this doesn't do the trick.

The Cambridge Vasculitis support group is meeting on April 21st. I'm hoping to go for the first time - been too ill for previous meetings. I think the details are on the Vasculitis Uk website. Hope they get you sorted today.

Any of you with cerebral vasculitis have difficulty with your emotions? On a bad day-crying and agitated. On a good day I'm fine.

Also sleep a lot, and I am an early riser, but on a bad day I can't seem to wake up.
