A third opinion required maybe, but given the overall situation I'm with Phil on this one. This should be guided by his Rheumy and a team discussion. I usually find that the Rheumy refers to other...
Hi Me2
Glad you mentioned about planning. I have accepted so many invitations and not made it. So now I tell everyone that Im "in to spontaneity".
Cheers Col 23
I think we all know our limitations, I presume, sadly for many of us we have to create new dreams. Do as much as you can now. I have a saying "bad is good when worse comes along." Somebody I know...
Welcome Randy sounds like you have had a lot to contend with over the past 3 years. Heres to continued Remission.

I didn't even know about WG attacking intestines. I also didn't know about long term pred doing damage to that as well.
I did have a bowel infection at one stage if that counts. I suppose it can get...

HI Phil
Did you mean Oral Chemo instead of oral pred? With the oral chemo (cyclophosamine )is that once a week on a lower dose?

Hi Phil, read with interest about that on here, I will talk to Rheumy about this on Friday. Can you outline a few benefits for me. Obvious one is not having to do the infusions at the hospital but...
Yes I have the masks and hand santitizer and am diligent an obsessive about washing hands. With close friends and family I can get around
reminding to wash thier hands after being to the shops and...
Hi Anne
Its the other way round they can give us infections but they don't want to hear that. How does everyone get around people wanting to hug
and kiss you everytime you go to a party. Im still...
Mmm the mental illness thingy.. Pred seems to make me think Im loosing the plot but I was medically advised that while I'm still aware of symptoms and recognize whats happening Im okay. Whew!!!...
I was advised that increases in the ESR and CRP indicated inflammatory but can also mean you have an infection. WBC usually alters 10 -14 days after chemo and they have to monitor this. I have to...
Hi Phil
Sounds like the docs have you managed well at the moment, hoping for good sailing weather and you get through this one.
I'm all over the place at the moment. The Cyclophosamine infusions...
LOL Wish I could be as brave and assertive. I usually Zip it and lock it and keep it in my pocket. My husband calls me the "big pretender". I always pretend I'm okay. He is my rock so supportive and...
How is your 12 year old girl getting on? So sad when I hear of young children being diagnosed with this illness. Although I think youth is on
their side and a good chance to knock it into remission...
So over it. But battle on, whats the alternative? I really cant believe this is happening to me. I think everyone with Wegs must feel the same.
However sitting in the docs yesterday I felt lucky...
So pleased that you got to some sort of medicated remission. Yay. Hopefully your flare is just a minor and all goes well. I too keep getting the lung involvement. Have you had any advice on how long...
All the best

They usually increase my Pred for awhile if I start flaring. Hate the Pred so hard to decrease always have to suffer to get down on it. Hope your
feeling better soon. I was on MTX before they put...
Process of elimination and reviewing of accumulation of symptoms takes time. Wishing you all the best for a speedy Diagnoses. This illness moves very fast so sooner the better to stop any damage. All...
Same wet hair at times. Even my sunglasses fog up if I have them on top of my head. LOL. Think my concoction is same as yours. I'm having cyclophosamine infusions every 3-4 weeks and currently on 25...
