I have been diagnosed with vasculitis of the medium vessels. A rheumatologist has placed me on 60 mg prednisone/day. I am having horrible side effects to which he has placed me on Klonopin, I have had inflammatory bowl disease for 24+ years. He is trying to tell me I do not have this bowl disease and all of the vasculitis is connected. I do not believe this. Any suggestions other than another consult with a different Dr.? Thank you
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have vasculitis. It is an autoimmune disorder and your body is producing antibodies against your own blood vessels. You should take steroids to suppress your immunity and control vasculitis. Your bowel disease may be due to vasculitis, or it may be due to inflammatory bowel disease. You should go for biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
