SURE sounds like wgs to me. First thing ( maybe its just me ) but if I started coughing up blood , I would be at the e.r. in about 10 minutes. Why are you waiting ???? I also have lung involvement and had several nodules, a couple about the same size. Your dr., if he has any knowledge of wg can find out a lot from the blood tests. The sed rate and crp as well as your urine should be checked ( for your kidneys ) but you can have the results the next day so if I were you ,I would go get a copy of the bloodwork. I get mine done at the hosp. so I have access to them 24/7,but if the dr. did it you may have to wait until Monday, unless you get your butt to the er ,which I think you should do since this has been going on for so long. The dr should have cked your Anca in your blood but that isn't a for sure test. Mine kept coming back neg. but my biopsy was positive. The aches and pains and red eyes are also symtems of wg, I personally have never had lumps under my skin, just a rash, but that doesn't mean that anything,since this does effect everyone different. I don't know where you live but I URGE you to get an expert in this field, since you can go downhill very quickly with this if gone untreated which it sounds like you are. You should have a reumy, and ent and also a pulmy for starters checking you out. Aylanan, I honestly think the best place for you NOW is in the hosp. where you can get cked by all this drs now instead of having to wait for appts and they can get you started on some much needed meds. Please keep us posted.
