"Gary went to the doctor in Billings on Monday. They say he has vasculities and Polyarteritis nodosa .
He has now lost 30 pounds.
As I understand it, it is a inflammation that causes inclusions of the arteries, the blood is not flowing correctly in the medium arteries. They did not find any nodules in the gut so that was good. His feet are numb and swollen, his hands look frost bit. He is jumping on a mini tramp that helps his hand pain, instead of feeling like his fingers will blow off, he gets an over all hand pain. He has a mild to moderate case of Polyarterities nodosa. They are treating him for a mild case.
They seem to think he does not have colitis.
He has been given a medicine that he is to try for a week, and see how it affects him, if every thing goes OK they will give him an additional medicine to take.
They feel Thankful they have caught this at an earlier stage.
Keep him in your prayers. "
