    Default Wonder if this would work for those who have Wegener's?

    This implant will help those with RA which is autoimmune disease.... maybe it work for Wegener's patients. It maybe 10 years down the road. It will help with diabetes also. I have RA and Diabetes and since I have been on MTX and Humira I have been lucky enough to be able to get off of Insulin... hope it stays that way.

    Hi, yes I saw the implant. I also have diabetes but since it works on the AI system, it might just help GPA. Where there is life, there is hope!

    fascinating!

    If vagus nerve stimulation blocks the cytokines that cause immune attacks, then it makes sense that acupuncture may help.
    Here is a study showing acupuncture may help.

    Andrew_ you got that right! The last eight months have been terrible, getting under control again thanks to CC. I ran into a friend that knew I had been through a lot with the WGS and shouts out you look fabulous! I find it hard to imagine you have been so sick! I just said "I know I thought the same thing when looking in the mirror this morning" and changed the subject!
