Hello everyone. About six weeks ago I posted that I was going back on the pred to see if the sinuses would calm down, and after the taper if they stayed OK, all was good. Well, it's back to flared up again. Yesterday, I had so much facial pain I couldn't hardly walk. All I wanted to do was crawl in bed and cry. My wife took me to the ENT at 7:30 am and he said since last Thursday, they were really bad again. I was also coughing and wheezing, so he ordered a chest X-ray, and something there gave them a enough of a worry that today I have a lung CT scan scheduled. Pain is almost under control now that I have a pain patch on my arm. It helps that I've spent the last 18 hours resting and/or sleeping finally too.

All indications point to a Wegeners flare up, even though the ANCAs are all still good.

so if you area the praying type, say one today for me will you, please?
