Hi there

A newbie to the forum and I just have a concern that I hope someone can help me with as it is Christmas and my doctors are all away and I would rather not spend my Christmas sitting in an emergency room if there is nothing to worry about!

I have Wegners currently affecting my sinuses and lungs. There has so far been no kidney involvement but from what the doctors have told me, this is a main concern of the disease. My case was considered general until the cyclo didnt have any affect and I was then told it was an aggressive case of WG.

I have been on 50mg of pred since June and i am on 700mls of rituximab infusions monthly but only in the last 3 days my ankles have swollen to double their size as well as my knees.

I have been doing basic "normal" life stuff, nothing extreme.

I am worried this fluid retention could be a sign of my kidneys becoming involved...?
