CLEVELAND -- Lynn Corwin was diagnosed with Churg Straus Syndrome, a form of vasculitis. She is now raising awareness to help those who suffer from the disease.
Three million people in the US suffer from the disease and many go years before being diagnosed. Many health care professionals and doctors know very little about the disease.
Correction: "3 out of a million people have CSS"
Vasculitis patients suffer inflammation of the blood vessels, capillaries and arteries, which prevents blood from getting to the vital organs.
