                        I was diagnosed in '93 after a kidney biopsy. I've been treated with Prednisone and Cytoxan which resulted in remission. However I have had to resume treatment, so my doctors switched to prednisone and methotrexate.  I have had many complications, including strokes, etc.  Sometimes I feel so alone. Most people have never heard of this disease, including nurses, etc. I could really use someone to talk to please contact me
