Another disease you might want to research is Relapsying Polychondritis. RP causes inflammation of the cartilage in your body.....nose, ears (external ear usually), trachea, joints, etc. MANY of its symptoms are similar if not the same as WG. I researched RP extensively when I flared for the first time in 2007, and could not find a doctor who knew anything about these diseases. I believe RP is usually ANCA negative. For a long time I believed that I had RP, until my nasal crusting and bleeding began last year......crusting and bleeding are not symptoms of RP.
Good luck
