Hi Col,
If that was my spine I'd bring it to a chiropractor. They can't reverse the degenerative changes, but might be able to slow further degeneration while relieving your symptoms.

Where are you located in Australia? Believe it or not, I might be able to find you a good chiropractor there.

I believe it Sangye! You have done astounding things on this site.

Thanks for the info. Hope your getting plenty of rest LW.

I am getting plenty of rest, I feel much better today, my spirit has much more energy than my body. I got up with all these plans. Took a shower, made my bed and now I'm reduced to sitting. My spirit is outside dancing around the yard admiring the cactus and giving thanks to each direction.

Hi Sangye, every doc who has seen my hands, they are more blue than pink, just nods and says "prednisone". Most of them heal withing a couple of weeks to leave space for new ones, but I have some, and they were BIG and bloodfilled, have lasted more than 1 ½ months. By now they are a light brownish colour.

PS I hardly ever know how I get them, but some I know, just touch something and sure enuff. A couple of catclaws ripping one makes it even more inteesting.

Hi everyone
LW love the spirit thing. I can relate to that.
Sange I live in Perth Western Australia thanks
Interesting about the hands. I have had problems very simililar even before I was diagnosed. They continue to be bright red. They use to have puscular things on them and so did the soles of my feet. Feet are fine now. Just wondering if it is the pred or part of our disease.

I think Moyan was saying her hands are blue from being bruised. Moyan?

The little red dots are part of Wegs.

I have a bunch of little red dots. They are the color of strawberries/raspberries. Do they go away when your in remission or stay? If you get more I am assuming the Wegeners is active. Any thoughts on lumps, bumps and irregular skin crap?

Any thoughts on lumps, bumps and irregular skin crap?

LOL-- is that the technical term?

I am sure that is what the dermatologist think too. Sometimes they can't decipher what is what. Years ago I broke out in a WG rash and 5 dermatologist had no clue what it was, either did I.
It's amazing how long I had this disease and got diagnosed in 2008. Having the kidney transplant medicines probably kept my disease less active.
