I recognize the weightloss that you mention.
Prior to my diagnose of GPA I also lost weight.
After proper treatment my bodyweight became 'normal' for my lenght again.

No-one can can define better what it's like to deal with auto-immune diseases than you do.

Hi Arlene.
Welcome here.
One day at a time is always a good idea ;)

I hope you 'll soon feel better!

I had to search this site for 'The Gorrilaz', Marta. Now I know it's a Britisch rock group, haha.
Jack sure was a precious member of this group, he wrote me messages I will never forget......

I know nosebleeds and sometimes saddle-nose are symptoms of GPA.
I did have the nosebleeds, but was lucky enhough not to develope a saddle-nose, for which I was quite scared of in the beginning.

Sorry to hear you got diagnosed with GPA.
I hope your insurance company approves your treatment, and that you 'll soon feel better.

I 've had two Pfizer-shots, the last one in June.
Also I took the flu-shot last week.

My symptoms also started 11 years ago.
My kidney function is checked once a year by the immunologist/nephrologist.
Anca has been negative for several years now...
No kidney-involvement till today.

I'm ver sorry to hear that you suffered severe pain, and were immobilized, as you describe it.
I can not tell if this pain is GPA-related.
All I can tell you is that I sometimes have chestpain...

Thanks for this well-written and very informative report.
It's inspiring to read how you organized help in this threatening situation.

Hi drz. Haven't seen you writing here for a while.
I hope your symptoms are 'manageble', and that your heartrate is within the normal range again.

Good to know you didn't run out of insulin, and also that you were able to recharge your iPhone during treatment.
Also it seems encouraging to me, that your next treatment will only last for four...

I 've had my first 'Pfizer-shot' today, and so far no problems but a tiny bit of a sore arm.
Second shot is scheduled for june.

There is still much discussion about the different sorts of vaccins.
For example: when...

Nowadays, I...
