    Girl I know it's been a long time since you started this video. But I was just like you. I did research on the meds and it took me 3 days to even start on them because the side effects scared me. I began to do research and ran across your video. I was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis and Osteoarthritis. I'm being switched from Prednisone to this. The methotrexate didn't do well with me. I weaned myself off all meds by juicing and taking Dr. Sebi's herbs for 2 years right before the Pandemic. Then I got hit with COVID. After that I struggled again with Dermatomyositis and so much more. I was fine off meds until that crap hit. I wish I could get my willpower back to juice again and just get off all these meds. I also see that like myself you are young. I'm just concerned with being on all these meds and dealing with these sicknesses at this young age. I want my life back. You are beautiful by the way even with the medical changes. I know how you feel. You should start a support group.

    I have scleroderma, lupus, Reynolds, and mixed connective tissue disease NEC. So yeah, you can have all of these. As far as plaquenil...go see an eye doctor every 6 months for testing. Your rheum should let you know what you are deficient in but at least take a multivitamin. But I take folic acid of course, B12 complex, iron because of anemia, vitamin D of course. The vitamins help to avoid unnecessary pain....especially vitamin d.

    Yes, it would be great to hear you discuss more of all the topics you mention. Having scleroderma I find it a struggle to balance the opposites of trying to stay positive while at the same time staying realistic. For example, wanting to discuss pain and fatigue but being aware that cognitively it might be better to discuss things I can do. Relationships and work are definitely adversely affected but again it seems better to stay 'positive', but is that always honest? I don't know. It would be great to hear your views on how to balance staying positive while being truthful about the changes these types of disease bring about.

    • @RainbowInBloom
      @RainbowInBloom 3 роки тому

      It's important to honor your feelings. It's a jugging act for sure. There are ways to manage what you can and the first thing is to be honest and talk about it with people you come into contact with regularly, like co-workers.

    Hey girl! It is so good to see you back on seriously LOL I have disseminated morphea and it has been very challenging! With this particular morphia not only do I have the plaques on my back the shininess on my thighs I also have big lumps on my butt thighs arms. I look like a Walking cottage cheese poster. Seriously WTF! I have had to file for disability with lawyers a little over a year ago and I am now just going to be talking to the judge in October. The job I had was a make up artist and of course my right side which includes my wrist is where it’s the hardest and most painful 😣 And let’s not even get into the ankles, pins and needles shooting pains girl what! So I have to try to convince a judge that I can’t stand eight hours a day and do make up on numerous women with my current situation which you already know LOL so I have also been keeping it positive through my spirituality meditations , being in nature and of course Music. I’m keeping a dream journal because that’s another passion of mine and trying not to focus on the negative. You and everybody else who is going through a similar diseases keep humor, positivity, music, and hope in your life. I’m sending everyone love and light and hope to see you soon. Your sister in craziness Lisa ❤️

    I’ve had RA since a child and I’m currently on the max dose of Methotrexate. I also take mine on Friday night so that I have Saturday and Sunday to recover. It takes my weekends away which sucks but I will say after my 3rd month taking it I’ve noticed significant changes in my hands especially. Prior to taking this medication my hands and feet would be so swollen in the morning I couldn’t even grab my toothbrush. It still takes about 45minutes to get moving in the morning but my hands aren’t nearly as swollen as they usually are. I have experienced some significant hair loss which seems to be the only lasting side affect. Thanks for sharing !

I just want to say keep fighting, keep encouraging others and I hope other people with scleroderma find your videos and connect.

    Wow girl, you have a very positive attitude so early on. My first year, well I had been tested for 3 years to find out what was wrong with me. Neurologist after Neurologist, each held a different diagnosis, except the Nurse and Physician Assistant, as well as my Ophthalmologist. I saw regularly for my diabetic and Glaucoma eyes, when my left eye hurt so bad I could stand it, and then partial blindness set in, she diagnosed it right away, and said find a Neurologist. Finally after some really crappy Neurologist's, I ended up in the ICU, unable to move my left side and straight away, 2 Neurologists diagnosed me with MS. They had my records transferred from the University and did their own mri and my brain was flashing like a Christmas tree. So, I was pretty depressed the first year. I'm on my 4th DMT and hopefully the last, Ocrevus, and it's awesome. I wish all MS Warriors could get it right away. It's like a miracle drug. Keep strong Warrior 💪💪🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
