    Default Anca?

    I was wondering if anyone knew how long the ANCA test takes. It usually seems to vary to how long my GP gets the results back - 8 to 14 days.

    As I understand it, the test itself does not take that long. It is just that most labs do not do it so the samples often have to be sent away.

    I've always gotten my results in about 4 days. Like Jack said, longer means they have to send it out.

    They always have to send the ANCA out. Sometimes I wonder where? Antarctica? Greenland?

    Sangye, like Phil said you are witty, brilliant and my add on is Clever. Don't worry your head will shrink a little next month, you will be on lower dose of Prednisone.

    You can only see in others those qualities you possess yourself.

    Seriously hoping for some major head shrinkage. My winter cap is too tight!
