    That's great to know, Michelle! I guess I had heard of them but had forgotten or something. I became a member.... and there are only 11, so I encourage others to join, not sure what the result of that would be, but it seems there may be a forum on the site for members. It's cool when these grass roots efforts start to go somewhere!

The top well-known experts are still singled out as being available for free consultations. The site is for patients worldwide and seems like a very good resource not only for info about docs but for vasculitis info in general..
    Looks like this page doesn't exist any longer.

    There were some conflicts among the administrators or owners of that page... if I remember right, one of them left and stuck with his own original group on Facebook and the others apparently didn't keep that informative site going... Will look on the Facebook groups and see if there are any other lists of doctors available through those.

    I haven't looked at the Vasculitis Foundation site for a long time, to see if they have added any new doctors. I have to believe there are good WG docs in various locations that aren't listed there. I think we still need a comprehensive list for people not living near the well known specialists and unable to travel to them.

    I just looked the other day, and it has been updated fairly recently.
