Immune support supplements

[maria garcia]

Has anyone taken any Immune support supplements? Are they ok to take?

[Sangye]

No, they are definitely not okay to take. They will send the immune system in the wrong direction and oppose the drugs. It's very frustrating, to say the least.

I took some when on a trip to South Africa cause I have poor health and didn't want to gt sick there. I was not yet diagnosed but think my symptoms started to get worse after I returned home and it might have been due to the immune boosters. My family thought I caught some exotic disease in Africa but doctors never did figure out it was GPA till many months later.

Hey drz, that´s the first time I see someone mention this shortening here on the forum.

I forgot to write it down here it, but during the patient-congress last month that I visited,
this new shortage for Wegener´s was announced.

Where did you hear or read this?
Is this new abbreviation already common in the States?

Sorry. It's ten minutes later...
I now found the link you placed in the thread 'A new name for...'

From what I heard on the patient-congress,
the new name for Wegener's will be written as follows,

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's)

with the name Wegener's put between brackers, as kind of a changeover or transistion.

I wonder if this forum is going to be renamed as well.
Andrew?

I'm still calling it Wegs.
