Microscopic polyangitis (vascular disease w/skin rash)

a couple of our members have described and have photos of rashes on skin. legs and arms recently that MIGHT fit into this catagory of vasculitis called Microscopic Polyangitis.
this is often associated with KIDNEY and LUNG problems as well as peripheral neuropathy. it is associated with episcleritis and Uveitis and is sometimes mistaken for conjuctivitis or 'red eye'.
it can cause muscle weakness and muscle wasting.

Wish all the very best,
Mike
