Hi
I just thought i'd post my experience on having Wegeners, and pregnancy, in case it's of any help to anyone planning a family? I hope it helps. :confused:
I was first diagnosed with...

My experience was quite extreme really. I experienced awful breathing difficulties since i was 18 years old, but i was continually diagnosed with asthma. I told my consultant at the time that i did...
is there a way of donating money towards the maintenance of the site? i know it's not cheap, and i'd like to help if i can :)
Just posting to say that initially, I didn't have tracheal symptoms when I was first diagnosed, - my tracheal stenosis came apparent a few years later, although it was misiagnosed as asthma for 7...
Sounds as if it could be a problem with the trachea. I find it much worse lying down with my tracheal stenosis, but also, on any kind of exertion, ie. walking, getting up, going up and down the...
Thanks for all your lovely replies.
After seeing that awful GP, I took myself to the ER. Luckily for me that I did, as I was indeed having a flare up. It was complicated though, after some...
I went to the out of hours GP tonight, and she was awful! She just sent me home, as though i was worrying about nothing.
She looked at my swollen and inflammed hands, and told me to go back to my...
Jack did your hands and fingers get swollen? I can't get my wedding ring off - this has literally come on in the past 3 days. thanks for any info x

can kidney disease come on quickly with WG?
Hi
Just posting for some advice, to see if my symptoms ring any bells with anyone???
I gave birth 5 weeks ago, and typically, I tend to flare up post pregnancy. Once with Tracheal Stenosis, the...
Hi guys
How are you all? Sorry I haven't posted for ages!
I have been in reasonable health until recently, where i've been getting nausea, flu like symptoms (that come and go), loss of appetite...
I made the difficult decision to take legal action against the NHS, I was so devastated. I found out a few weeks ago that I won my case, really pleased, and hope that this will make mis diagnosis of...
Hi
I do have a tracheal stenosis, it was mis diagnosed as asthma for over 7 years! I asked my consultant (at that time), if I could have TS, and he told me categorically no, and thought I was a...
thank you so much for your replies, you make me feel as though i'm not going crazy! I feel like such a hypochondriac sometimes :(
I haven't had a chest CT for years. During my first ever flare up...
Thank you for your reply. Whenever I see a doctor, the listen to my lungs and tell me it sounds clear...but why do I struggle so much then? My tracheal stenosis is fine at the moment, so i know it's...
Hi
Sorry I haven't posted for ages, been really busy.
As far as I know, for the past few months i've been ANCA negative, but i've been getting so breathless with a dry cough which makes me gasp...
I started to lose the vision in my left eye in 2007, and I had an optic neuritis (some inflammed veins in the back of the eye). Steroids helped, and chemo, and ritixumab. No problems now.
interesting. i took 'mesna' when i was on chemo, to protect my bladder, but that's about it . x
Hello
I've been ANCA negative for about 18 months now, and I can honestly say, that I have felt pretty bad for most of that.
Recently, I lost the hearing in my left ear, my chest was bad,...
Hi!
Has anyone ever had digestive disorders as part of wg? I'm anemic, loss of appetite, weak, generally unwell etc.
Am on a waiting list for some further tests with gastroenterology.

About a week ago, I was sitting down one evening watching tv, when I had the most excruciating pain in my left ear - like a stabbing pain. After a few hours, the pain started to subside and a clear...
Hi
I saw ENT today, and he said I have a WG flare up...with trapped fluid in the middle ear or something...I was a bit shocked, I thought it was an ear infection!
Not sure what treatments to start...
