Hi Mark,glad you found this group but sorry you had to. By the signs of it sure sounds like wg. I also have nodules in my lungs. They tried to do 2 needle biopsies but they could not get enough tissue to confirm it so I had to have a partial right middle lobectomy which came back positive. I was put on cytoxin and pred and bactim for 6 months before I went into remission. I am one of those who can not tolerate meds so I have been on 5 mg pred for about 4 1/2 years now and they consider me in remission. I think the pains you are having from the reduction might be due to wg being active. Pred seems to hide issues. I would mention it to your dr. and maybe he will raise it again. Best of luck to you and keep us updated.
