Specializes in Rheumatology

Vasculitis: I usually recommend exercise to all of my patients with vasculitis. The severity of the disease and your response to therapy with determine you'll exercise tolerance. I recommend starting slow and gradually increase as tolerated. I also recommend some other workout videos such as "10 Minute Trainer" or "T25".
