I was diagnosed with Cogans syndrome a form of vasculitis about 22 years ago, now also have autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis. I had a very big scare one year ago with a bout of C-diff followed by ruptured bowel, 5 abdominal surgeries, 4 months in the hospital, had 6 months of TPN, still getting better everyday. These autoimmune diseases are not for the weak. I am blessed with supportive spouse and family. I have not worked for over a year still trying to get financially straight. Feel like that will never happen.
