May - Day 3 #vasculitis awareness month.

Granulomatosis of Polyangiitis or GPA (former Wegener's) is an ANCA assosiated vasculitis and can be severe, even fatal if not treated early and correctly.

Nothing is more empowering than #patient stories.

This is Emma's story.

Totally relate to Emma’s story - I think most of us are all very good at saying ‘we’re fine’ and people are always saying you look really well and you nod along! But inside and on bad days you are in pain, or feeling so fatigued that to do the simplest task requires such enormous effort. Thank you for your story 😊.
