Hi Jeto, nice to see you here. So glad you have a work. Are you in Macedonia now ? How is your health ? How is your family ? I pray for you. Thank you for your caring. God bless you.

Hi Kirk,

I am so sorry you are suffering this much.

I know 3 weggies who suffer from subglotic stenosis even while their wg is considered to be in remission, up to the point where they need...

Welcome to the forum, Aaron,

Lack of G6PD is not related to WG. My father and my 2 sons have it. They don't have WG. However, there are some medicines which you are not allowed to take, one of...

Some docs use the "limited GPA" concept when there is no kidneys' involvement. But we all know that WG can be life risking even without kidneys' involvement and that it can spread to more vital...

Thanks for the update. Sounds like Yosef is in good hands.

I know few weggies who get Ivig treatment.

Welcome to the forum, Lea.

As far as I know, it takes 6 weeks for mtx to start working. Reducing the pred should be careful and gradual according to your improvements.

The concept of 'Limited...

Meantime I checked with this lady. She said that now her docs think that after all her subglotic stenosis is not caused by WG but is idiopatic. So although she had the diagnosis of WG for few years,...

Welcome to the forum. I know a lady on facebook who has both WG, MS and few other AI diseases. She is an amazing warrior and writes a blog. Here

Sorry you had to be addmitted because of sepsis. Sounds tough. Thank God you are back home.

Thank you for the info. The scale in Israel is different. Here the line of the normal is 737.

Can you please tell us the name of the shots that you are going to get ?

So sorry Yosef has a big flare again. I hope that being addmitted, he can get the best care possible. Must be hard to stay in the hospital those days, while we have our holidays.

What is the...

Sherry, for me it took 2 rounds of rtx (6 months between) and 9 months since I started it, in order to see a real difference.

Hi Masha,

On the contrary - for me the drop from 100 or 120mg on rtx day to 5mg the day after is too much and in the last years (I am on rtx every 6 months since 2013) I even took 20mg the day...

Thank you so much my friends, for your caring and kind words. You warm my heart. I love you. Thank you for being here.

I share here things which I don't share on facebook. I don't want to make...

Pete, it is very sweet of you to show yourself in a better way then you really are to your father. And I am also sure that he would give you the whole world if he only could. This is what parents are...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Anne and Michelle for being with me and with my sweetie, back then and ever since. Your friendship and support are priceless and I love you.

Sorry you had to go through this tough time, sister. Thank God you are doing better.

When my pr3 is up, I know it means that wg is active. It can be up even when C-anca is negative. And I had a...

so nice to see you here, Geoff, I've missed you. Thank God you are doing well. I am also on the pred almost 11 years, celebrating my wg anniversary in 10 days from today.
How much rtx do you get...

I think so, too. Keeping you in my prayers.

Happy New Hebrew Year (starting tonight, Israel time), may it be a year of good health and good news !

Welcome to the family, Shawny.

Sorry about your disease and about your divorce (you wrote about on another thread). I hope you can find a way to reduce the stress and get enough support. We are...

I know weggies who are on immune suppresed meds without pred, and to be honest, I am jealous at them.

I am on the pred since 2008 and will never be able to quit it. Started on 60mg because of...

Thanks for the update. I googled tacrolimus and found out its an immune suppresed med to help with transplants.

Praying it can give an explanation and that the change will improve the kidneys'...

Thanks for sharing. I guess you will get rtx 500mg × 4 times ?

Many times the labs don't reflect how much the wg is active. Only in 2 flares I had a dramatic labs' results. Wg can also be...
