I am looking to join/ start a Wegeners support group in the Tri-Cities area, preferably near Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thank you. "A cord of many strands is not easily broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

Hi James and welcome to the forum.

Sorry I can't answer your question for you but I think that it is a great thing you want to do.

Do you have WG/GPA or a family member?

welcome :) I can't answer your question, because as you can see I live a bit far away :wink1:
but I like what you wrote: "A cord of many strands is not easily broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
I guess this is you.
I guess it can also be us :)

Thank you both. Alysia, the Ecclesiastes passage was in reference to all of us who have this disease in common. Together we can have community, common friendship and support. These are strong bonds that no one can take away. Even if we cannot meet face to face, at least we can all share in this support group from the comfort of our homes. :-)

Mishb, yes I have WG. Active for two years, probably contracted many years ago unknowingly. Have had 2 treatments of Rituxin and due for a third. This drug has literally saved my life.
