Keep us in your prayers. We live 25 miles inland between Pascagoua Ms. and Mobile Al. So we don't have flooding prolems. But we live in the woods and we do have alot of tress. I don't think
this one will be to bad but you never know. My vasculitis is back so I guess I will go back on predisone. I wished I new why I keep breaking out with this stuff.

Hi Jasie,
I'll pray for you and your safety. Take care, lest us know how you make out, and God bless.


Love and hugs,
Rev. Nancy

Praying for a safe night for you. You are probably getting more wind than I am.

My mother had vasculitis a while back and the doctor told her to take Vitamin E. Have they mentioned anything about it to you? She said it helped, but I don't know if there would be contraindications for someone with autoimmune problems. It would be something to talk to your doctor about.


36-years old. Diagnoses: PsA, PN, Primary Raynaud's. Taking Mtx injections, folic acid, Lyrica, B12 shots, Vitamin D, Zantac, and Demerol (when forced to).

Hi Jasie. How bad is your vasculitis? Mine is really bad that it is covered all over my lower legs (both). It hurts and I just found out through MRI that my muscles are inflamed as well. I don't know how I got vasculitis b/c it doesn't show up in people with ankylosing spondinitis.

What are you diagnosed with?


Enbrel, 15 mgs of Prednisone, 150 mgs of Lyrica, 20 mgs of Trexall, Forteo, Folic Acid, and Leucovorine

When I first got really sick I had vasculits that covered my feet ankels and legs. It also went
up to my rib cage my ankels where very swollen and painfull. No one could give me a reason at
that time. I was diagnosed a couple of months later with RA. I was sent to a Kidney dr. first
because I was having alot of protein in my urin. I also am diabetic. It has been 4 years since
the first outbreack. This time I also broke out just like the 1st time and I just happen to have a Rhum. Appt. and she said it was Vasculits. she did Blood test for Lupis and said it was neg. She said it was rare to have vasculits with Ra. She put me on Predson. It drives my Blood sugar way up so I quit taking it when i clear up. This time my breaking out is not that bad.

Hope all get thru this in one piece and no property damage.
We could do with some of that water down under.
