You will go on steroids which will control vasculitis twice, PAN & GPA which I still have, since 5 years......so dont worry, you r doctor should have referred you to a rheumatologist and taken a whole host of blood tests.

I understand how you feel. Just think about it like this your doctor has found that you have this problem and will now help you deal with your vasculitis so that's a positive. I have a form of vasculitis called polyarteritis nodosa which I've lived with for 9 years I was diagnosed at 40 years old. I had chemo, steroids etc etc and yeah you feel crap but you just learn to deal with it day by day. Hope everything goes OK.
