I believe that it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed !!!! I had symptoms starting in June of 03 till May of 04 was misdiagnosed with sarcadosous (?spelling) I went from general physician to ENT with sinuses problems then moved to the ears then my dura swelled and granulized also damage to the pituitary gland. Had neurosurgeon split my skull for biopsy after that it got underneath a microscope of a rheumatologist at Cleveland Clinic main campus

Very tricky, this disease does not have any actual markers in blood work to show that you have it, ANCA scores sometimes show falsely and it takes time to figure out this through trial and error, lots of people are misdiagnosed
