Of course, I had a saddle nose, too, so they could have just concluded by that and my other symptoms, plus the result of my lung CT scan, that I had WG. But I was not being seen by any real WG specialists; when you go to Penn, the one you will see will probably be able to come to that conclusion. Not that I want you to ohave WG, but if you do, I'd like you to know and be able to get treated ASAP. I'm sorry you have to wait until June 17th. It would be nice if someone could at least prescribe you some prednisone in the meantime. Best of luck!
