    Re: Happy Birthdays Thread

    Thanks much, Pete! A week has gone fast, no problem. Wegs is pretty well under control but there are some lung issues being investigated. How is your kidney doing? I haven't been here for awhile so...

    Re: Happy Birthdays Thread

    Thanks so much, Alysia! We can always count on you. I stayed home or across the road at my sister's on my birthday. I felt safe. I have not been on the forum much and miss talking to people here. I...
  3. Re: Dr. Appt. - Vaccine did not work (no antibodies)

    Thanks to everyone for looking into this. I am full of tension about this because no one can tell us whether we really may or may not have antibodies, the test is discouraged, and there is doubt as...

    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement

    Rae, I am one of the 20% who have GPA who have never had a positive result on an ANCA test. Or at least it is so minimal that it’s not considered positive. I don’t know the explanation, but it’s...

    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement

    Welcome, Rae. I, too, hope you don't have GPA. But if you do, know that some have fairly mild, treatable cases, and you could be one of those. Also, it seems that you are getting it investigated...

    Re: Wegners in ears

    I had similar problems as Pete did, with the ears being first to be affected by Wegener's. That was followed by 2.5 years of supposed sinus infections, allergy shots, etc., before things got so bad...

    Re: My cough, its so bad!

    Hi, Kirk,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what LPR is but can find out. In any case, the book and diet you mentioned sound very helpful if they actually got you off the nasty drugs. I hope you...

    Re: My cough, its so bad!

    Just drinking a small amount of water with a little baking soda mixed in helps me with that coughing and burning in the esophagus. It mainly happens when I've been eating too much of the wrong things...

    Re: Covid vaccins and WG

    I'm new at this but the only category for 2 or more underlying conditions here in Washington seems to be ages 16-70, but kicks in a little later, after everyone 65 and older. That leaves out a lot of...

    Hi, Masha, I've been away from the forum for awhile and just getting caught up on all the Covid posts. All I know is what it is in Washington; the first tier of Phase 1 was all kinds of people in...

    Re: Diagnosed with GPA in Bonn - Germany

    Welcome, Ilias,

    I don't know what I can add except that your situation sounds so familiar, yet different, as is often the case with WG/GPA. I started with a big ear infection at age 58, which I...

    Re: Recently diagnosed with GPA

    Welcome, Mandy. You’ve come to the right place. To answer drz’s question, I’m one who did know about WG/GPA before my diagnoses. But I didn’t quite think I had it. Like you, a big bilateral ear...

    I have heard of people having more than one autoimmune condition, even as many as 3 or 4. I guess that would mean you could have two forms of vasculitis. I'm not as up on the technical data as some,...
