I joined this site a few days ago but am not very good on computers and didnt know how to introduce my self. My name is Jenny and Im from Perth Western Australia. I am 52 years old and was diagnosed with WG 13 years ago. Since joining Ive been reading your posts and am amazed at how all of you are so brave and still seem to be so happy. I feel so devestated and depressed at the moment. Up until the past few weeks ago I seemed to be handling things really well. I havnt had a flare up for 13 years but am permanently on steriods and they are causing me most of my problems at the moment. I think Ive been in denial for all these years and now finally have to face up to the fact that I actually do have WG. My Doctors have not been helpful over the years. When I see my specialist with symptoms he has never said to me that they were caused through the WG. BUt after reading some of the things you all have written everything is starting to add up. Everytime I try to reduce my steriods, even slightly, the symptoms come back. I am so glad Ive found this site.

I am really looking forward to hearing from you all
