Episode description

Wegener's Vasculitis - that's what my Rheumatologist told me I had. It wasn't easy to hear, and it was more difficult to live with. In my first episode about my journey (see podcast episode 4 - My Journey with Wegener's Vasculitis Part 1) I shared onset and diagnosis. Today I share with you those next couple of years. The treatments. The side effects. The emotional turmoil.

I put on 140lbs in a year. Do I break up with my boyfriend or sentence him to life with someone non-functional? How do I feel about freezing embryos? Taking a medication to deal with the side effects of a medication (ie: prednisone)

It's not easy, but I want you to know you're not alone... I've been there too. I hope you find support, understanding and connection in my journey.
