Treating Granulomatosis Polyangitis with Prednisone and Methotrexate

Posted by bnharrod @bnharrod, May 14, 2019

I have just been diagnosed with Wegener’s disease / granulomatosis polyangiitis (gpa) and started on regimen of Prednisone and Methotrxate. I am wondering if this is the appropriate group to share questions and experiences with those who have walked this same path. Thank you.
