    I found your video when looking for videos on schleraderma. I’m 35 a wife & mother of 6 kids ages 3-13. I have been sick since 2011,and nobody knew what was going on told me it was lupus,and I had an uncle that was suffering from horrrible schleraderma he ended up passing. (We weren’t blood related),after his death in 2018 I was diagnosed w schleraderma and mine seems to be worsening by the hour I’m already on oxygen 24/7. It’s very scary as I don’t have parents but I have my husband snd young kids. You have given me some hope in watching your videos. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I’m not in the best place w all of this I hope I can be like you at some point. Your a true inspiration to me

      Sorry to hear about this but have heard when such incurable disease occur where allopathy fails ,Yoga & more importantly Pranayama which includes deep breathing, Anulom Vilom, pranayam ,kapal bhati pranayam , meditation, diet and lifestyle change an lead to cure.
      Please give yourself a chance to Ayurveda or naturopathy.

      @@lillyrocks2011 Yes it’s so hard. Most doctors aren’t very educated half of them don’t even know what scleroderma is. I was just hospitalized from having two digital ulcers on my index and middle finger that got infected and now I literally cannot move either of them anymore on my right hand. This disease is so scary. But I have switched my doctors to Cleveland clinic where a lot of them are scleroderma doctors so I’m really hoping to get a lot of help and treatment with my illness there.

    I am 36 and was recently diagnosed with advanced systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease and found this things very helpful for my symptoms: Quit gluten, kombucha every morning on an empty stomach, eating plenty of meat and greens, swimming, bike riding, daily hands exercises and coconut lotion for my skin. Along with the calcium suppressor and colchicine that my doctor prescribed (minimum dosage). I also make sure to have my Vitamine D on recommended levels always and don't consume sugar (I wasn't consuming sugar even before I was diagnosed).
    I feel A LOT better then before I was diagnosed and my hands have visibly improved and have a lot more mobility. I feel like I am still able to live a full live and feel very positive about my future and about my life in general.
    I really hope this helps somebody. Hang on!

      Please consider taking glutathione oral and nebulized. Depleted glutathione along with the excessive reactive oxygen species in connective tissue disorders lead to fibrosis. Glutathione is low in people like us. Tons of medical studies are out there on glutathione and autoimmune diseases. Ivermectin may also help. They've been using it for MS with great results. Its anti inflammatory and affects different immune pathways in autoimmune diseases. It's also been studied for it's anti cancer properties.

    Diane I am going for biopsies this week then to scleroderma clinic as they think I have this terrible disease . At the moment I am in lots of pain and now have limited movement in both my arms. I'm seeing the rheumatoid consultant next month and hope to find out what is the results of my tests etc. As well as having pain and lack of movement I am also breaking out with lots of sores all over my body and some have turned septic so I'm having them dressed weekly at the clinic.i don't know what it is but I seem to know you as you look very familiar? I'm from Walton Liverpool and once worked at Walton hospital so don't know if I know you from there ? I hope you are feeling better soon and I will keep you up to date with my treatment God Bless x

    I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago, slowly losing the use of my hands and mouth very tight now. Horrible illness and equally horrible treatment. I live on chemo drugs & will for rest of my life but its not stopping its progression. Hospital care is now reduced to 10mins every two years & no more heart or lung scans. My doctors don’t understand the condition so always tell me to call the hospital. My biggest problem & most stressful time now is getting sufficient care. However, my condition is horrible but there are many people far worse off than me.

    10 days after “chemotherapy,” you were admitted to ICU. Was methotrexate the drug they administered? It is difficult not to think the “chemo” resulted in the renal crisis.

    • @RainbowInBloom
      @RainbowInBloom 4 роки тому +5

      Agreed. Doctors need to be more clear with patients about what these drugs are and their side effects. My rheumatologist didn't tell me methotrexate can spike my risk for cancer, which I eventually got. :(

    • @rizzobitz
      @rizzobitz 2 роки тому

      I was thinking the same. I was just diagnosed yesterday. Chemo...seriously? They are causing reactive oxygen species in a disease that progresses due to reactive oxygen species.
      What about glutathione oral and nebulized (for fibrosis prevention)? Glutathione is low in people with connective tissue disorders. Ivermectin has done miracles for MS and other autoimmune diseases, may help with scleroderma. What about immunoglobulins? IVIG help without damaging your immune system.
      Treatment options are so horrible they are worse than the disease itself. What's next, cyanide pills?
