Paul Gillian: My WG Story

I wanted to introduce myself. At 65 years old, I was diagnosed with WG (Wegener's Granulomatosis) in January 2011. The disease first manifested as a persistent ear infection, which unfortunately resulted in significant hearing loss in my right ear. I also experienced night sweats, a dry cough, and a decline in energy, appetite, and weight (I lost 25 lbs initially). Thankfully, my doctors classified my case as "mild WG" since my kidneys were unaffected, and my lungs and sinuses have significantly improved with treatment.
