For the ANCA versions of vasculitis (MPA, GPA and EGPA), I believe that Rituximab infusions are best. It seems to have quieted the disease moser completely for me than cytoxan. Everyone has to go through some form of high dose prednisone, usually long term, and the side effect from that are long and frustrating. But it shuts the immune system down and stops the disease from doing more damage, so it's a necessary evil.

Prednisone and solumedrol is the best and gives instant relief but also has the worst long term side effects, so methrotrexate and new biological meds, Actemra has been working well for me but it takes so long for me feel any change im in month 6 now and blood work is alot better but I still feel alot of pain ... Month 7 i started feeling good last time crossing fingers i get to stay the course and get remission for the first time in my life, this time
