Hello,
I have had all the initial labs run twice for WG. My white cell counts are normal, but my inflammatory processes are elevated. However, my MD keeps saying that they are not as high as she would have expected considering the trouble I am having. They did find a 2 cm diameter nodule in my lung last week and are doing a biopsy of it Tuesday. So, I had some questions.
1) has anyone ever had labs that were only somewhat abnormal, but still had wegeners? I honestly don't know what happens if the lung biopsy isn't conclusive.
2) I am having a ct driven lung biopsy, is this going to be very painful?
3) I have developed the saddle deformity over the last 2 weeks. Will it be possible to repair?
4) assuming they can confirm, is living on the rtx very difficult? How long to see improvement?
