copaxone vasculitis

Still hoping to talk to someone who has Wegeners Granulomatosis, Polyarteritis Nodosa or Necrotizing Vasculitis. I would like to discuss symptoms, testing, and diagnosis. thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can i get rid of the purple crops from the vasculitis, they are on my legs. Iam hiv ,hepc .not taking anything for hepc or vasculitis treatment fail for hep c.

I was informed that the small biopsy of the dark freckle on my forearm has come back as vasculitis. About a week prior to having this removed I had severe joint pain in every joint in my body and had a series of blodd tests done to test for lyme disease, rocky mt spotted fever, CMP, iron etc... The only thing that came back abnormal on my blood work was my AST/ALT because I have fatty liver disease (my numbers were 89 and 44 to be exact). As quickly as the pain came, it went away in 4 days.

I am still fairly new to the forum and perhaps this issue has been discussed previously. I read some posts that indicate some people are mainly concerned with liver damage and seem to feel if the liver enzymes are normal and they are not symptomatic, then they are doing well and the Hep C virus is not causing them problems. That may be the case. However, that was not the case for me.

I have viral vasculitis and often feel very poorly, I need to know why my spots keep reappearing when I think I am clear, it is almost like I have attacks and then the spots appear no one has told me to slow down so I still lead a very hectic life but get very scared when the attacks occur as I seem out of control, will I ever fully recover I have been ill for 6 weeks ow

ve seen two different neurologist and if they disagree on the dx, what was the other neurologists opinion on what you had instead of CNS Vasculitis? The international vasculitis foundation list 'Flinders medical centre' in SA on their website, so it might be worth considering contacting Flinders and asking their clinic which specialist they'd recommend for you to see and where you can get some support.

Is there any permanent cure of Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/243494'>Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis</a>.

My mother has a kind of rash for about a week now which a doctor said that it is Urticarial Vasculitis. Another doctor said that it is Erysipeloidal Cellulitis and seemed very sure of himself. The problem is that she has some problems in the lower part of her left leg (some small boils - ulcers of 1-2 cm in diameter). I'm really bad at describing the disease, so i've taken some pictures.

Thanks everyone for sharing with me. If you have any other information I would really appreciate it. I also have vasculitis flares from the Cryo but haven't gotten the sores like so many others. I will share this good news with the others I know that have Hep C. It will give them a ray of hope today. Sending all blessings of continued health and happiness.

s a possibilty it could be Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis, even though at first they thought it was Follicuitis, and therefore more tests are being done. Very scared I must say! I would just like to know if Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis could affect the eyesight? Also, I've not been able to think straight, being forgetful and a little dizzy. Could these be symptoms also? I read this back to myself and think 'surely these can't all be symptons of the same thing'!?

For roughly ten years I have been dealing with leukocytoclastic vasculitis. This diagnosis was concluded thru biopsy several years ago. I have also seen an allergist....he concluded that he would not be able to pin down what may be triggering my immune system response thru allergy testing. I am now to the point that i have a continuous reoccurance of red spots primarily on my legs and feet........as existing spots fade to a light brown, new ones reappear.

I was just now seen by a nurologist who said that my pathology report showed CNS Vasculitis as the reason for the hemorrage in Oct. and that is very bad. He wants to look for any other secondary disease that may be causing this like Lupus. So I have done a Spinal Tap and blood work and will be doing a Brain Angiograph depending on these results. I am so bad today I can barely walk.

I am training for the Susan G 60 mile 3 day walk the first weekend in Aug. When I walk 15 miles or more in the heat it sounds like I am getting Golfer's Vasculitis. The trouble is my feet and legs swell up and I am worried I will not get my shoes on the next day. Anything I can do to get the swelling down fast some have suggested compression stockings but not sure how that will be in the heat.

Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! Your ANCA is negative. For vasculitis as a diagnosis this should be high along with high ESP, high C reactive protein and high WBC, anemia and high eosinophil count. Angiograms of major blood vessels to show the characteristic inflammation pattern is needed. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral to a vascular specialist.

I have had Vasculitis which I found out 6 months ago was related to Hep C. I will be participating in the new Phase 111 trial within the next year. Hopefully, addressing the systemic problems will address the vasculis as well. Currently I am on my 3rd Embrel shot in hopes of keeping the vasculitis under control until the trial. So far, little improvement. Do this sounds like a resonable approach by my Rhumatologist.

I was treated with high doses of steroids for almost a year. The steroids did the trick and the vasculitis gradually got better. Vasculitis can be very serious. When I had it I developed hemolytic anemia, pericarditis, pericardial effusions, pleuraitis and pleural effusions. I was very ill and off work for 7 months. So, I cannot help with the questions you asked about anyone else developing vasculitis during treatment, but I do know one can get vasculitis from Hep C.

Other than this you appear to be having some vascular problems, such as vasculitis, that could be compromising the blood flow. Vasculitis can cause erectile dysfunction by compromising the blood flow to penis during erection. Vasculitis can also compromise the peristalsis, digestion and absorption from gut. With time the patient starts suffering from nutrional deficiencies, skin discoloration, cognitive problems, confusion etc. These conditions cause elevated ESR, CRP and positive pANCA.

Let me begin by saying that there are many types of Vasculitis . In Vasculitis the blood vessels become inflamed which cause the layers of the blood vessel wall to thicken, Aside from the itchy patches has your mom experienced any other symptoms such as weight loss, fever, joint pain, fatigue? Some forms of Vasculitis are the result of some immune system diseases such as RA, Lupus, Sjogrens, or an allergic reaction to a medication especially antibiotics.

I wander if it is right to take supplements and products for stimulating immunity if somebody has autoimmune desease,like vasculitis,or Hashimoto., or it could worsen symptoms? Another question is: -Is it possible that vasculitis dessapears,and stops being active if someone becomes undetectable with hep c? Thank you oinadvance for your answers! All the best!

Hello all. Ive been suffering from leukocytoclastic vasculitis for over a month now and i read all over the net that HIV can cause this. Can HIV cause this 7 years after a possible infection? Or does it have to be a recent HIV infection? Thanks to all who will answer. I really need your help for peace of mind.

I Developed Leukocytoclastic vasculitis 2 years ago and was DX with CSS July of this year. My question is related to multiple flare-ups of the vasculitis. During the past 2 years I never really got rid of the vasculitis it just waxed and waned from intense with full purpura, Bullous Leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and ulceration to mild petechiae. I have great difficulty sitting for longer than 5 min. before my legs go numb.
