@cherylmcg well, Vasculitis is basically an “umbrella” term for about 15 or so different diseases.
I was diagnosed in 2015 with Polyarteritis Nodosa. I had a large, swollen rash on my calf that was very painful. My dermatologist took a punch biopsy and diagnosed me with PAN.
The PAN damaged the nerves, and arteries in my legs and feet so I now have peripheral neuropathy, and Raynaud’s disease.
