My name is Joyce and I am originally from NJ. I am new to forum. Was dx 3 yrs ago with psoratic arthritis and was on Mthx but in July 2013 started with ear problems. Very fast it became chronic with glue ear. Hearing was very effected. Only after a biopsy was taken from my ear did my rheumi dx me with wg. I am on prednisone, imuran, folic acid, vit d, calcium and Resprim. Wg is limited only to the ears, knees don't give me problems anymore. I am on aggressive treatment to restore hearing and slow progession of disease.

Still learning abt the disease and what to expect. Taking meds but thinking abt gluten and dairy free diet. I'm sure it can't hurt.

Wanted to go in June on a cruise to Alaska and to Thailand in December. My dr didn't think it smart to go away from care for too long. Was a bit shocked as I M trying to live as normal as I can. Guess I don't realize how sick I am (maybe cause I'm not in remission?). Will I ever be?

Glad this forum exists as I need the support
