Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's disease or GPA)

Vasculitis
I was diagnosed with GPA on September the 9th 2015. I started exhibiting symptoms just a few weeks before that, starting with pain under my feet and progressing to my joints. The disease spread to my lungs within the course of a few days and I spent 6 days on a ventilator in  the ICU. I am currently being treated with Cytoxin every 3 weeks and taking Prednisone daily.
