    Default West Central Ohio Vasculitis Foundation Support Group

    Here is a photo of the attendees at the first meeting of the West Central Ohio Vasculitis Foundation Support Group in Springfield, OH. I am wearing a blue shirt in the second row.

    We had a good turnout despite the fact that there was a tornado warning about an hour before the meeting started. Most of the vasculitis patients present were fellow weggies.

    Guest speaker was Dr. Don Gebhardt, a retired ENT who is a fellow weggie. He said that before cytoxan became widely used in the 1970s to treat GPA/Wegs, the 2-year mortality rate was about 90%. Pretty sobering.

    Consensus of the group was to meet again in about 3 months. Hope to see more of this forum's members from Ohio there next time. I'll keep you posted.
