I have been following this forum for over a year and had many attempts to sign up. Super excited that it worked this time. I feel like I already know many of you. I have celebrated succsess and cried at the loss of friends over this past year. WG has impacted my life but at this time I am doing well. I have had Rituxin and responded well (last dose 8-2012) thrilled to say that I am down to 1 mg of prednisone hoping to be off soon and continue with the maintenance of Methotrexate 12.5mg. I am so glad that I am able to once again care for my children, They sure keep me busy. I have also returned to work as RN in the NICU (with premature babies) it is a safe place for me in the hospital they are early but not infectious. I had to give up working pediatrics. I only work part time not sure if I am tired form WG or chasing four kids around but either way that is what works for my family. Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
