    Default Nick Cannon- "Lupus like auto-immune disease"

    Hey, has anyone read the news about Nick Cannon? He was diagnosed with an auto immune disease after kidney probelms and hospitalization a couple months ago. He describes it as "lupus like" but hasn't released the name of the disease.
    Anyone think it could be our old friend WG?

    LOL! He is...well, I don't know what he's famous for but he is currently the host of America's Got Talent (I think). He's married to Mariah Carey.

    I tend to think and recognize Cannon's symptoms as WG-like. He's one of those super achievers in the entertainment business, cool guy, very active, but 'fate' stuck its ugly nose into his life...no one is invulnerable. I am interested in and amazed at the number of AI-like dxs showing up. I keep Google Alert w/ WG and related diseases on puter...I get at least a half dozen a week about something related to AIs. Maybe these diseases are just getting more notice, or maybe they are starting to show up as a base disease for many other diseases we seem to have or dismiss as something else...who knows at this point.

    Phil...get a grip...Cannon IS a very cool person...but, he's just like all of us, susceptible to the flaws in life...

    I'm guessing it isn't classic WG, as there is nothing said about granulomas, and, in his PR photos, there doesn't seem to be any facial involvement. "Lupus-like" would suggest something that involves nerves and joints, though no specific disease is mentioned. So it could be one (or more) of many. In all cases, it appears to be, like any of the ANCA diseases, organ threatening. I'm sure that this has changed his life and his worldview in a huge way--as our own autoimmune diseases have for the rest of us. In an important sense, we're all Weggies....

    I, too, thought of WG when he started talking about his issues. Unsure of the specifics of his dx, but the publicity he has garnered (along with other AI folks) is bringing an awareness that benefits us all!

    Maybe someone should bring wegs awareness to him. He could be stuck in the same dx cycle. Is that silly of me to think?
