    Default 9 year veteran of Wegener's

    As a point of inspiration to newer sufferers of the disease, I wanted to indicate that this month marks the 9 year anniversary of being diagnosed with the disease. I'm doing well and haven't had many problems with the treatment.

    Hi Elephant. Unfortunately, I had a flare up about a little over a year ago. Right now, I'm only taking 150 mg (3 pills) of Imuran and my doctor says it'll stay that way for a while (about a year). I'm anticipating by late 2013/early 2014 that the medicine will come off. But I'm feeling great now and my last set of lab results taken almost two weeks ago is thumbs up for me.
