I was diagnosed 10 months ago today. I saw my rheumatologist today and the news was all good. For the first time both inflammation markers were in normal range, just barely but best numbers in past 10 months. Blood work indicates I am tolerating azathioprine well and will continue on the therapaeutic level of 150 mg the experts recommend for me. The plan is to start tapering prednisone again from 10 mg a day by 1 mg every month and see what happens. The lab work along with absence of any strong Wegener's disease symptoms suggest I may have reached a drug induced remission.
