Patients' Stories

First of all let me thank all the authors who despite their suffering from vasculitis wrote their story. In letting me publish their individual stories especially newly diagnosed patients will see that despite the rareness of this disease they are not alone. Others have travelled the same paths, have faced similar problems..

Some stories offer ideas for therapies or good hints as to how overcome some of the obstacles of vasculitis. However helpful these ideas may seem, please be aware that I publish the stories unedited and without any comment. No hint, no idea, however promising it might seem, should be taken as a solution. Take it as an idea you can discuss with your doctor. Please don't change any of your therapy without having consulted your doctor first.
