Hi Lori,
A few months before the diagnosis I experienced ringing in the ears, blurred vision, and shaky hands. About a month before the diagnosis I had red eyes and worsening fatigue. I remember I couldn't even make my bed because blankets and quilts were to heavy for me.

My vascultis attacked my kidneys so much that I was put on dialysis for about two months. My main treatment has been prednisone (steroids). Over a peiod of one year I've had about four rituxin infusions. I remain on 5mg prednisone daily.

Would like to add that throughout this past year I have lost most of my hair and nails. New nails push out the old ones and I'm left with thin new nails. I believe the hair loss is a side effect of the prednisone. Not sure about the nail loss. I'm guessing it's also a prednisone side effect.
