One more thought...visit www.vasculitisfoundation.org (there are links to other websites I believe, like John's Hopkins or the Cleveland Clinic)... or also webmd.com and search Wegener's there...

Question/Comment:

I would like to know if there are any other adults that have very low levels of IGG IGM IGA IGE IGD? I always find imformation for kids on this but not alot of other adults. As my Immune doc tells me is that what makes me different is that I also have Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, COPD, High BP and High Cholestral. I am also very sensitive to the side effects of the IVIG. I have a port in because my veins are shot. But also there is a company that does the IGG SUB Q not IVIG. I am now doing Gammunex Subq. I also get really sick with them but getting not so bad after now with the Subq and not the IVIG,

Question/Comment:

Hi, this is Cath/ I am 49, and for the last 6 1/2 years, I have had an auto immune DEMYELATIING neuropathy, plus I lost all my teeth, in less than 1 year, to another auto immune syndrome - sjogran's syndrome.
My nerves of my arm, legs, hands, fingers, feet & toes are in constant pain. it's like an electric cord - the copper wire inside is the actual nerve, and the vynil coating acts like the myelin sheath. if there are any cuts or tears in the vynuil sheath, then the electricity can jump off at those areas. my antibodies have 'eaten' away this sheath that protects my nerves. I receive IVIG infusions at home, (donor antbodies), but It progresses rapidly.
Any one have any ideas? by the way, i am not diabetic - diabetics get neuropathy frequently.
Thanks, Cath from NJ

Question/Comment:

I've been diagnosed in the last year with an auto-immune disorder called Anti-Jo1 Syndrome. I've not been able to find out a whole lot on the internet except that for every 100,000 people tested annually, only one or two are diagnosed. Is there anybody else out there who has been diagnosed with this? I'm interested in finding out what other people are going through with this.

Answer/Reply:

http://aarda.org/ is a website for autoimmune diseases. They are a great resource to help you get started. They may have some suggestions. Also the Mayo Clinic website is great for general information.
I have a condition called Bollus Pemphigoid, another autoimmune disease which is extremely rare. There is a website specifically for those of us with this ailment and the cousins to it.
Good luck and do not give up your quest for understanding. If you do not have a good doctor I don't know if a specialist like a dermatologist (she found what I had) or some other type may be able to find out how to best treat you.

Is this autoimmune disease anything like Wegener's granulomatosis? Also do you know about the vasculits site: www.vasculitisfoundation.org.
