Less Severe = Shorter Remissions

[annekat]

Since the mortality rate of untreated MPA or GPA averages 5 months, I am referring to drug induced remission.

This is another statement that I think makes no sense. A "mortality rate" would mean a percentage of people dying, not a length of time. Are you saying that without treatment, the average Weggie will die in 5 months? I went for 2.5 years without proper treatment and others have gone longer. If you mean when someone goes untreated for a major severe episode possibly requiring hospitalization, then maybe yes. I was treated for ear and sinus infections, and allergies, but not for Wegener's, during my undiagnosed period.
