I was diagnosed with Goodpastures Syndrome in October 2008 and apparently it is pretty rare.  Many of the medical staff I have interacted with have never worked with anyone with it.  Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with it.  Other than the standard information I have found on various sites (and it all says the same things), it would be good to connect with someone who actually has it.

Welcome to the rare Goodpasture's Disease Club. You are not alone. 1 in 1 million get it and nobody knows where it comes from.
I had Goodpasture's Disease in 2001 and live to tell the tale. You can too. Hope your treatment is going well. I'm happy to answer any questions.
