Hi Mark. Welcome to the forum, but sorry that you have had to find us. :)

You have picked yourself a powerful adversary in Wegener's, but it sounds as though you have a good attitude. You will read about a huge range of symptoms on this site and I hope you are one of those less affected, but you may find that there are certain changes to your life that you just have to go with. It is not always that bad and is refered to on here as your New Normal.

When you have time, let us know your story and what medications you are taking. Believe it or not, we are interested! ;)

Mark- I welcome you to the forum, too. Not much more to add to Jack's comments other than knowing your story helps us give you directions and questions to ask. You might mention what major cities are near you (if you want to keep your specific location hushed) so we can direct you to the closest WG specialists, if you aren't currently in the care of a physician who has a solid WG background.

Let us know how it goes. Great news, too, you have a doctor familiar with WG. That puts you way ahead in the race to stabilize your condition, and bring you back to a state more like you were before you came down with WG!:)
