The Dr says I have vasculitis.Does anyone else have that can advise me?I don't know what to do.?


Im sorry,I should have added that I am still waiting on more test results. I have this terrible rash on my legs and feet..edema,itching,and burning,I am going to start Prednisone tomorrow.I am scared of Prednisones side affects..

not sure but I think John Hopkins has a center for that -- brb -- http://vasculitis.med.jhu.edu/ the Mayo probably has something too -- http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vasculi... -- WebMD has a treatment page -- http://www.webmd.com/content/article/78/...

He should have told you what to do. My doctor recommended Tylenol Arthritis because it's stronger and lasts longer. The book says they used to encourage walking because the muscle movement increases blood flow to the vessels, and this helped clear it up. (worked for me in a couple of days.) Good luck!

There are several types of vasculitis. Your Dr. should know what to do. If you want more information about the disease type in into Google search and you will find all kind of info. Armed with the information you can discuss it better with your Dr.
