Hi Gigi. Welcome to this forum. I'm sorry to hear of you being diagnosed with WG. However I'm glad they finally did get a diagnosis so now you can start to get better. I've had this disease for 34...
Prednisone won't stop it from it's continued destruction. You will need to be on immunosuppressive medication I sure hope you get a diagnosis pronto. Keep pushing to get In to be seen it's so...

I agree with Alaskatom. A second opinion in the same office might not help out much. Most insurance do pay out of network. If it's just the consult you have to pay for call and find out what the...
Donna. I think you may need to go to the Mayo clinic. Just what I have read here on this forum. They seem to be the best. I have subglittic stenosis and as far as I know (CT on 26th) I don't have...

From what I have read the stents are trouble. They break down and get imbedded in the lining of the tissue and to remove them can be a mess. I would look into other options. I'm looking into laser...
Like Pete said the hunger can be so great at higher dose but when you taper it should be less. Is it possible it's just normal now compared to at a higher dose and it just feels like she is eating...
You were diagnosed just before me. I'm at 35 years. July of 1979. I was 9. How old were you me2? Also forgot to mention that this will be at a health store or herbal store. Not at pharmacy. It...

This was suggested by my ENT. It works so well for dryness and it's a natural grapefruit seed extract. It's called XLEAR XYLITOL. IT REALLY HELPS!!!!
Yes but the best way to deal is to get up every day treat the things that are needing attention and enjoy the rest of the day. It has to be hit head on first thing or depression sets in for the day....
Thank you mishb. Yes this surgeon follows several WG pts so I'm not the experiment or the first timer for her. I'm nervous but I'm a firm believer of positive thinking. I hope all is well for you.
