Don't know if anyone here rembers a band back in the day called Every but the Girl. Any how's one half of that group is Ben Watt and he was diagnosed with EGPA back in 1992 and wrote a book about his experience. Its a harrowing read but thought worth mentioning here. I got a copy on amazon and you can probably download it as well. Lev

Dear Lev, I believe, the band, was called 'Everything But The Girl'.

Do you know the Name, of the Book please? (It's much easier to find if you have a 'name', even a partial one.)

Many thanks, for the Heads Up, on this,

AndrewT

yes, I have read it …I read it about 10 years ago. I am just disappointed he hasn’t helped raise more awareness about EGPA and vasculitis but he decided to just get on with his life as many celebrities do who have been diagnosed with vasculitis.
