    Hello Dr James
    Thank you so much for replying with encouraging information, even if it is speculative. I have stopped the Candesartan and am watching my blood pressure. I even talked to the GP about Candesartan and he said the European Medicines Agency recommended continuing use and that was what he recommended too. However, I prefer to be safe and listen to the facts.
    Thanks again. It’s amazing to have someone like you out there.
    Warm wishes
    Clare

    Hi, I have cryoglobulinemia vasculitis and have been on immunosuppressants for 4 years (initially high dose steroids). I am on azathioprine 75 mg a day and obviously concerned about Covid-19. I have written my consultant to see if I can change medication.
    Thank you for the information about high BP. I am on lercandipine 10 mg and Candesartan 16 mg daily so am anxious to get off the latter.
    Any advice about cryo vasc and medication would be very welcome.
    thank you
    Clare
