Returning symptoms
My initial dx was GCA. The it was unspecified vasculitis, then it was more likely a lupus/ vasculitis overlap. Last was it is autoimmune but don't know what! So they took me off Methotrixate to see who I faired. My eyes sight is worse and had this confirmed with eye test, my temple pain along with jaw

Back on MMF 500 mg
After my 8th relapse of Wegeners, my Doctor put me on Ristova again for 6th time, 500 mg, four infusions. And with that he started MMF 500, initially twice daily. When from 1st Nov 2013 he started four daily, I was in terribly state. So he asked me to stop. Later from last five days he asked me to take

Mixed news today from my visit to the hospital. Positive news: signs are good for my recovery. Nerve damage has now bottomed out and she is hopeful. Bloods and urine all good. Now to keep the PAN at bay I have been told I will have to face 6 months more of chemotherapy. Because I am "off plan" for Rituximab

What diet changes could you suggest, I have Vasculitis SLE
I was diagnosed with Vasculitis SLE in July of this year, and I was put on Cyclophosphamine and I am presently taking 100 mg with Dapsone. I began Prednisone at 60 mg and I am presently down to 25 mg, I have changed my diet, eliminated most sugars and processed foods. My Rheumy didn't think I needed

My husband has small round white patches on his hands and also some pink patches - is this anything to do with his WG?
I have looked at images of vasculitis on the internet and it doesnt really resemble his hands. They are definitely white and round. Not blistered. Have never seen anything like it. He is reluctant to ring his specialist and believes it is nothing to do with his WG but I am not so sure. I worry if

Do I have it or not? This is the question.
Been searching this site and found tons of help. One on line person led me to john Hopkins site and this was interesting. I hope I am being proactive and not reacting out of fear. Elevated ANCA score, with symptoms that could be vasculitis or old age! When do you stop searching for an answer? This is

Northamptonshire Telegraph yesterday 'A group of friends have pulled together to make a bakery recipe book in memory of their friend'

The group, who all met through their children being friends, are based in Earls Barton, Great Doddington and Wilby, and have

Another day another dollar
Another day, another dollar. Eh? Today's bonus was an end to end EMG and NVC test in neurophysiology. Good news: no new neuropathy I don't know about already; but lots of weakness in legs is confirmed. Then down to rheumatology for big dose of methyl pred and cyclophosphamide. So now it's 1:30 am and

Dermatologists and vasculitis
The Dermatologists at the hospital I attend have told me that - although a skin biopsy shows I have vasculitis - I don't have vasculitis. I am confused. They had told me I had lymphocytic vasculitis - but now it's not... I'm seeing a rheumatologist at the end of next month thank goodness, because -

Getting on my bloody nerves (literally)
Went to see the physio today; was told I have very weak legs and hips, and was shown today practically how bad it is getting. No more denial, it's not good. Given that it was only 10 weeks or so ago that I walked 31 miles in a day, is it possible that such rapid weakening is being caused by axonal motor

has anyone had a nerve biopsy.I was diagnosed with Leukocytoclastic vasculitis in 2011 from a skin biopsy,as it is mainly a skin vasculitis
I have suffered ever since with severe pain in both my legs. I was sent to have a nerve conduction test and was told the nerves in my legs were damaged from the vasculitis.and I should have had a nerve biopsy at the same time I had the skin biopsy.Although I have had no lesions on my legs for 12 months
