SEEKING SECOND OPINION

	I HAVE BEEN DIAGONED WITH TAKAYASU ARTERITIS AND HAVE HAD ARTERIOGRAM AND HAVE BEEN ON PREDNISONE. I STARTED WITH 50MG FOR TWO MONTHS AND HAVE COME DOWN ON IT TO 17 1/2 MG. I STARTED TAKING THE PREDNISONE SIX MONTHS AGO. I HAVE BEEN SEEING A RHEUMATOID ARTHITIS DR. WOULD IT BE BENEFICIAL FOR ME TO VISIT JOHNS HOPKINS FOR A SECOND OPINION FOR LONG TERM CARE. 56 YEAR OLD WHITE FEMALE.
	Seek a consultation with the Johns Hopkins Vasculits Center. Information on how to make an appointment can be found on this website.
