I am 21, in college, and this spring break for the 5th time in 6 years I am in and out of doctors offices doing tests. My sophomore year of high school I was diagnosed with Leukocyte Vasculitis. I have gone to a general doctor, 3 different rheumatologists, and a dermatologist. I have gone threw a few steroid type medicines and now i am on plaquinel. I am doing a 24 hr urinalysis because of unusual levels of protein in my urine, and i am being tested for lupus (again). My questions are: am i going to the right type doctor? (currently with a rheumatologist). Is there certain places that specialize in vasculitis? What other diseases have some of the same symptoms as vasculitis?
Please excuse my terrible spelling, thank you.
