Wegeners Gramulomatosa

I was diagnosed with Wegeners August 11, 2005. It is a form of vasculitis and an autoimmune disorder. I am followed and my treatment is directed by a Rhuematologist. I take Prednisone every day, but am tapering down my dose and hope to be completely off by end of year. Because of the Prednisone I am also taking Glucophage to keep my blood sugars down. I am not a real Diabetic-it's just because of the Prednisone. I have lost 26 pounds since getting sick (9wks). I am feeling better and doing great. This diagnosis has really motivated me to stay on plan, beflore I could always say I was just a healthy fat girl. Not anymore. Just wondering if anybody has ever heard of the Wegeners, or maybe even has it.

Sounds pretty yucky.

There's been some correlation of celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, with other autoimmune diseases, and sometimes adopting a strict gluten free diet helps. Its something you might want to look into. And its not all that hard if you're already on a low carb diet.
