Only because of Facebook do I know that folks have been living with some forms of vasculitis for tens of years. I also know from Facebook that some of us lose this battle. It's different for each of us. That's the big problem with rare diseases: not enough data.

Biological medications like ritixumab and axtemra and doing well with vasculitis and have prolonged my life expectancy alot but the general life expectancy depends on your type of vascultis, my grandfather lived 82 years almost unmedicated (low dose prednisone) with sarciodosis but I would die without chemo and cortisone and actemra

Life expectancy has vastly and dramatically improved with the advent of corticosteroids.
Many folks have been living with the disease for 20, 30 and more years.
With good health care and smart choices, remission is possible.
Early diagnosis is pertinent.
