shankxonline - My path to identify GPA and overcome it
I am going through a lot of blood tests, urinalysis, CT scans, MRIs ... just to get to know if its GPA, which organs are affected and then get away from current Prednisone to a non-steroid immunosuppressant med.
Time period: Last 2 months
Symptoms:
- A lot of joints and muscles ache. Mostly in bottom of both feet, elbows and back of the hands
- Pressure in the top of eye, red eyes
- Slight pain on the front of nose (sinus)
Whats known:
- Kidney functions are normal
- Lungs are clear from CT scans taken
- No pain or inflammation in the throat area
Whats still unknown:
- Nasal, Eyes and head MRI scans
Keeping me awake:
- What part of my body starts paining tomorrow?
- When can I get over Prednisone and to a known med which will balance my immune system
- Do I need to go to GPA specialist or continue with Rheumatologist I have
Share your thoughts in this thread. I have gotten great response in the new patients thread - but here I will keep posting my path ahead as I go through the experience.
