An Information Clearinghouse for Takayasu's Arteritis Patients, Their Friends, Their Families and Their Health Care Providers.
Takayasu's Arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the aorta and it's branches. Although not much is known about this disease, one thing is for sure, this illness brings on major lifestyle changes for both patients and their loved ones.
As patients, spouses, parents, significant others, sons and daughters, we all live with the effects of this devastating illness. The unpredictability of the disease, the treatments, the emotional impact, as well as the costs... all of theses effect not just the Takayasu's Arteritis patient, but the entire family.
The purpose of this web-site is to connect Takayasu's Arteritis patients, their families, their friends and their medical providers with information regarding not only this disease, but also with related health, legal, financial and social issues as well.
We hope that this web-site will also spread much needed awareness about this rare disease throughout the medical profession. Most importantly, we hope that this web-site helps to bring this growing family of Takayasu's Arteritis patients their families and friends together for some common causes.
We feel very strongly that due to the lack of information available regarding Takayasu's Arteritis, that if the information provided through this site makes just one life easier or one day brighter, then it was well the effort that went into it's development.
