Anyone else with Churg-Strauss or EPGA?

Churg-Strauss or EPGA
After 14 years struggling with symptoms, and many prednisone tapers, I finally found a rhumatologist who researched and properly diagnosed this. My understanding is that only 1 or 2 people per million get this per year, so not well recognized by most doctors. I will be on a long slow taper and hope to go in remission. If it recurs, more of the same and possibly a biologic to spare the prednisone.
Feeling grateful for many things, nd this doctor especially.

Welcome @mth13. I moved your post about eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) or Churg-Strauss syndrome to this discussion that @roxy1954 started to connect people:

In addition to Roxy, you'll also be able to connect with @juanito @oldkarl @oakwoman and others.

@mth13, I'm encouraged to hear that you have found a rheumatologist who understands. What dose of prednisone are you currently on? What is the tapering schedule to begin?
