Yes, I will do that. Thank you for the advice about being patient. I have been walking with my husband, but we just started this week. And I'm so tired when we get back (half a mile each time, twice a day) I sleep for two hours. I am coughing, can't breathe at night the sinuses are so swollen. I have five different docs and the appointments are far apart! But I will start working on letters to mail on Monday! Thank you again.

Hi Moshe,
how much is your creatinine now ? Do you have protein in your urine ? Do you have other WG symptoms ? How are your labs ?
As we both know too well, docs in Israel are ignorant about wg. So you have to be your own best dr. Its a stupid thing to say by your nephrologist (pardon me, shame on him). Do you have a decent dr. ?
I think that @jvilner is treated at Sheba. Check with her if her docs are decent.

Please don't ignore these signs of depression!! It is really part of realizing that your life is changed and you are still dealing with that. There is NO SHAME!! Taking care of your depression will help you with all that wegeners comes with. I hope you are doing well. Blessings. Lilly

I am glad for you that your experience with docs is better then mine. 2.1 creatinine is above the normal. Was it allways like that ? Is it new ? Are you on wg meds ? What treatment is your nephrologist suggesting ?

Since your creatinine is the same all those years (although higher then the normal) I guess it is not too bad. Sounds like you are in remmision. Are you ? What does your nephrologist say about your wg ?
It is wonderful that you are already 10 years without wg meds. Praise the Lord.

Re: Wegeners and Kidneys
Hi there,
Hope you are feeling better. Yes , this is very common. I have lung and kidney involvement. diagnosed about 25 yrs ago. Just trying to recover now from a flare. I was hospitalized for about a week. I had rituxan about 18mos ago. but had to stop because I had the JVC virus antibody which could have been fatal if the virus was to come alive. Very scary. Rituxan is a good drug just wish I could of stayed on it. Now I'm going to start cytoxin infusions. Hope we all get into remission. Feel better soon.
