I was diagnosed with Wegeners Granulomatosis, now known as Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, 20 years ago this month.

Good morning John hope you are keeping well.
I have just read your story and does it bring back memories, i started with WG 33years ago(only 70 known cases in GB then) and like you it has been a struggle leaving me with lots of other illnesses too. A credit to Susan for writing your story. Take care and both of you stay safe.
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Mills,Thank you for sharing your story! You paved the way for us. It was a relief to read that we can live a long fulfilled life after being diagnosed with GPA. Thank you for your work and research on GPA bringing it to the forefront so that people like me can be diagnosed before we are coughing up blood.
