After about 2 years, I was diagnosed with Lupus. My story all started with a sinus surgery I never recuperated from in 2005. My ENT, Pulmonolgist (ended up hospitalized with pneumonia), and nephrologist (alway's have blood in my urine) all feel strongly that I also have some type of Vasculitis along with the Lupus. They are concerned it could be Wegener's Disease.
My Rhematologist says NO. I would be deathly ill. All 3 of my other doctors disagree and say that I could have a milder form.
I'm on Plaquenil and Mobic along with Premarin (hysterectomy in 1995) and Norvasc (high blood pressure since this all started). My Nephrologist has also put me back on Bactrim, indefinitely.
That's my story...the short version. LOL I seem to be doing OK now but am concerned why my Rheumy isn't in agreement with all the other doctors.
Just wondered if anyone knows about Wegener's.
Thanks!
