      @439801RS 2 дня назад

      Knowing what to do starts by learning what should be happening and if your situation might resolve intervention might make it worse And if intervention is necessary, knowing what is going wrong can help select the right path forward. This kinda basic information is vital, since not everyone is aware. There's a lot of fear mongering around inflammation and other normal bodily functions So I'm really glad this video exists

    Just found out SS can affect bones/joints. Have also been dxd with Ehlers Danlos 3, the only one without a gene IDd yet. So thought all bone/joint problems (lots of them) was EDS. had joint pain only at nite in 1 PIP joint. Hand Dr. said the X-ray showed something odd with ligamemt, but he didn't know what it was. Doimg my own research and came up with SS could cause odd joint problems. Would love you to dive into that topic.

    I was diagnosed with Lupus through blood profile. Sent to Rheumatologist and completed another blood profile which showed me negative for Lupus, and Sjogrens, and positive for Raynaud’s. The doctor was surprised at my inflammation level, and admistered Hydroxichloroquine. I had a sever reaction, as I was also on Metoprolol for a heart attack, and was trying to manage side effects from that drug daily. Stopped the Hydroxichloroquine, but still suffer the side effects of the Metoprolol, which are some of the symptoms of Lupus and Sjogren’s. Could this drug’s side effects be the cause of my symptoms and inflammation?

    I am sooo glad I found your channel! I’m certain I have Sjogrens having stumbled onto it 8 years ago trying to find out why my eyes and mouth are so very dry. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I started using Systane Ultra and Biotene to help those symptoms. Then late last year however, the fatigue, and other symptoms, have become extreme. Your videos have really helped me figure this all out. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist here in Marysville (Ohio) on the 9th of December. Hoping i get some answers for the debilitating fatigue. Again, THANK YOU for your channel and information. You’ve given me hope.

    Functional medicine providers work to find the source of the issue rather than put a bandaid on it so the patient has to keep coming back. It can also be incorporated into clinical practice but most providers choose not to. I guess it is less profitable? I went to a functional medicine doctor and my visits were covered by my insurance but not all tests. But that's true of any practice. So what are you going on about?

    Today I had an upper GI and colonoscopy, occasionally I need my throat expanded because of how hard it is to swallow. Haven't been diagnosed yet but my eye Dr strongly believes it is a possibility. I think I have hEDS I also have Syringmyelia, Raynaud's, erythromelalgia, serious spine and spinal cord problems and every symptom a person can have inside and out. My question is the doctor told me my stomach is atrophyed and pale. Never heard of it, how about you? It's always something but I'm really struggling here in Boise Idaho!!!

    I have had Sjogren's diagnosed since 2010. I also use Pilocarpine 2-3 times per day depending on how dry I am. I never had any trouble with my dental until 2015. Perfect teeth for 60 years and then kaboom. Sjogren's will cause dental issues to surface fast.

    Great, practical advice! After being diagnosed with Sjogren's in 2020 at age 62 I've had to learn to embrace the treatments available, control what I can (diet, exercise, self-care, etc.) and let go of the rest. Too often I hear that people won't take medications because of the side effects. My response is that you must be more afraid of the disease than the treatment. Sjogren's is always systemic. I know. In 2022 I was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with Sjogren's.
