Hi everyone. Can anyone explain what an anion gap is and what it's associated with...the liver, kidneys, etc? I just saw this on a copy of lab results. What does low results mean? Any help is...
Yeah, similar to what I was told when I was a little girl, that it's extremely bad luck for a coyote to cross in front of your path. I'm not superstitious in my native beliefs, but owls...actually,...
You know, Sangye, going without an immune-suppresant has also crossed my mind. It's a risk, but it's definitely something to address with my rheumy. I recall in the beginning she did say I'd be on an...
Really..milk thistle extract and multi-vitamins...that's quite interesting. Thanks Rose and Michelle, glad to hear that both your levels returned to normal. Rose, where to you find/buy milk thistle...

Thanks for your reply, Elephant. That is soo awesome that you pursued and accomplished your goals, I admire that. I too really want to pursue but am afraid of relapse due to stress (balancing school...
For nurses or those in the medical field with WG, I've been wondering if you have been able to maintain your careers. Just a couple months prior to my WG diagnosis I completed prerequisites and...
Welcome Chas. Glad you found this forum...the support, information, advice, etc., that is shared here is invaluable. I was diagnosed with WG in March 2010, and like you, my hearing was affected....
Hi Nicole. I met Dr. Chang at the Long Beach Vasculitis Symposium last year, and I found her wonderful and was impressed with her...she's very personable and "listened" to me. Unfortunately, I am not...
