My Message To Doctors and Med Students: Illness IS NOT a competition
Thanks for sharing your story 👏👏👏👏... I'm currently a Stanford GI patient. Had to travel from FL to SF due to the lack of compassion from MD's in my hometown. Fixing to start first round of rifaximin & neomycin...
I ❤ your videos
🩷◀️ I’m newly diagnosed so thank you for sharing all of this!
Omg im in the middle of getting diagnosed every single thing youre mentioning im experiencing. rf high, ana high positive & abnormal, c protein high, rbc low, it all sucks. Im 40... The sore throat 100% real! Did throat pain eventually go away? It hurts my ears sometimes... & Weakness i cant open nothing... Mild fever too on & off. Dropped 27 pounds in 2 momths hard for me to eat...
Im going through all this. But my shoulder and hips are hurting. My voice does go in and out.
Thanks for sharing. How do you manage it? Does someone have to eat low inflammation foods ?
Hope all well. You’re very strong!x Which mg prednisolone you had? Mine is 20mg. I’m nervous to take.
Hi Elaine, woould you mind sharing ehich insurance you have? Im currently on my husband's plan which doesnt have good coverage. I was doagnosed with RA a dew months ago and the cost od regular vlood teats are adding up!
I’m so sorry…autoimmune disease and its care can be so expensive. I don’t mind sharing at all. I have United Healthcare Choice Plus (it’s like a PPO) through my employer. Actually, the reason I keep working is primarily for my health insurance. I will share that there are a lot of co pay assistance programs so if you find medications to be too expensive please let your Rheumatologist know. They should have information on co-pay assistance. I’ve personally used that for most of my RA biologics. ❤️
@@ElainesAutoimmuneAdventure thank you so much for the information. I hope you can keep working and your autoimmune condition doesn't interfere with your career. All the best to you Elaine.
How long will the medicine take to work on our body?
I was advised by my doctor it could take up to 3 months to see the full effects of methotrexate but from personal experience I have seen other patients see positive results on improved functionality before that 3 month mark.
useful video for me dear please share skin care routine scleroderma patient iam also scleroderma patient I can't wash my face. My stiffness finger 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I’m glad this video was useful. Skin care is a great idea! I would love to share, especially because I do have some tricks and tools to keeping up with skincare. I’m sorry you are struggling with Scleroderma, you definitely aren’t alone. I’m sending good vibes and positive thoughts your way! ❤️.
@@ElainesAutoimmuneAdventure thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is wonderful video ...Lakshadi guggul from Planet Ayurveda are good and effective results on Rheumatoid arthritis .
I’m glad you liked the video! Thank you for being here! ❤️
I hope you feel better I know what you’re going through I’m sorry it is hard . I have most of what you have. Sometimes I can’t give wash my dishes it used to upset me but now I realize that this is my cross and I’m gladly carrying it for Jesus. I think the hardest is having your family except it ❤️
Thank You for all of these suggestions. I especially want the hair scrubber for the shower. I have Sjogren's Disease and my hands are always so dry and tight.
Oh ya, it will definitely be helpful for Sjogren’s hands too! Shampooing can be such a chore. I’m really glad my mom introduced it to me so I could share it with you all. Thank you for watching and for your comment! ❤️
Glad to see you back ❤
Awe, thank you Nancy! ❤️ Hope you are doing well.
I'd also like more videos like there; espectially any practical items in nail care.
I’m glad you like these videos too. I always find them fun. Nail care is a great idea! Thank you! 🙂❤️
The razer is genious. Thank you, I will share your tip.
I’m so glad it can help you! I like it because of the sensitive skin option. My skin is so particular and it doesn’t make my skin angry. Thank you for your feedback on this video! ❤️
Hey why can’t you take collagen with scleroderma? I have RA and I take it, but doc doesn’t mind. I do love my shampoo brush!
That shampoo brush is a lifesaver in the mornings. I’m so glad my mom got it for me. Ah, I should have explained why a Scleroderma patient can’t take collagen. Scleroderma is an over production of collagen. That is what causes the fibrosis for Scleroderma patients. So because Scleroderma already causes an overproduction a patient doesn’t want to take more. I’m glad you asked! 🙂
Can’t wait to get the book 🤣🤣I love these types of videos!❤❤❤
I’m glad you like these videos…I do too! It’s fun to see what people get from Amazon and I’ve found some cool products this way. Ohmigosh, the book is hilarious! You won’t be disappointed. It’s such an easy read and fun to see the other side of our interactions with a doctor. I hope you laugh as much as I have reading it! 😁
Recently.I have been diagnosed with GPA severe type of vasculitis. So I'm waiting for this treatment 😊
been having rituxan for 13 years now...only reacted once when they infused too quickly also tried truxima a substitute,rituxan is a life changer for R A
Strong woman right here❤
🥰 Back at you, friend! ❤️❤️❤️
My wrists hurt then it went away by itself and has not been around more than a year . I think I need to check
Thank you for sharing how is your immune system after did u get sick easy
It does not kill good and bad bacteria, but rather stops reproducing of the bacteria. Big difference (some study says microbiome stays the same)
❤
❤️❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️
You are such a strong woman. I admire how knowledgeable you are about all the medical conditions you face. I panic over bloodwork. ❤
Awe, thank you but I don’t want to deceive you I do still panic over certain medical procedures and things. 🙂 Trying to learn everything I can is my coping mechanism and I’m so happy I can share what I’ve learned with you all, my friends! Sending you extra spoons today! ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the update! Saying prayers for good results from the new meds! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Malinda! ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤

Do you see your scl70 level change after Rituximab
Since SCL-70 levels aren’t used for a marker of disease activity, that isn’t a blood test that is run regularly for me. It was used during my diagnosis. But for disease activity markers, we look at CRP, Sed Rate, Neutrophils and WBC to see how the Rituxan is working. It does decrease the levels of inflammation in my blood. I hope that helps. ❤️
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for being here! ❤️
❤glad you are coming along. Excited to see how your SCIG journey goes.
Thank you! As soon as I learn SCIG more, I’ll film a full SCIG video to share with you all. ❤️
Thanks for sharing, I'm down to 5 mg and going down to 2.5 in a week then down to 2.5 every other day then none, we will see how that goes. Nice shirt!
I’ll be sending good vibes that your body does great with the prednisone decreases. 💪🏼 I’m a total Dave Grohl fan so when I’m not in a Nirvana shirt, I’m wearing Foo Fighters. 😂
❤💪😁
❤️❤️❤️💪🏼🙂
My b12 is high 4000 and I feel all that you are saying
I am taking Cellcept for kidney disease. I just started. Does it take awhile to kick in?
Thank you for sharing. You caught my attention when you said, sore throat. That was my first indication something was wrong. Then shoulder pain, wrist and hand and knee pain. Long story short I was dx with UCTD which is short for undifferentiated connective tissue disease. It’s awful. Was on plaquenil which caused terrible side effects. I’m on nothing because my rheumatologist offers me no other options. Searching for answers.
Took ten years to get my diagnosis after so many wrong ones. Started with tick bites to fibo. Was so stressed just keep giving me antibiotics and steroids
What side affects did you have.? I have to this infusion for neuropathy
urgh : ( sorry what a messed up period of time. RA I am going in on Monday to be tested hopefully. It's a new doctor. I am dreading this. My knees ache like hell, my neck has hurt for a long long time so not sure if it's related. The thing that is making me think RA is my fingers. At night my fingers swell up I am guessing and it leads to a few fingers on the left hand from being unable to close or grasp. By mid day they have improved. Right hand the thumb joint has hurt for about a year, sometimes more than other times and again difficulty bending. I also have nausea and dizzy feeling off and on. QUESTION: what medications have worked for you best? Do you feel stress makes you flare? I have started meditation hoping that will help.
I'm 18 year old Yi I'm suffering from arthritis 😷 5year. Hello my hand finger not working even my knees I have so pain so so pain I am😢
Great story, thank you. I believe I'm about to begin that journey.
Can you have any alcoholic drinks at all with this medication
I would say no to any alcohol...it is not our friend! I used to be mostly vegetarian, but now it seems that was part of the problem. To eliminate inflammation I quit all alcohol, beer, grains, seeds, bread, sugar, then went plant free and it all together helped a lot! 2.5 years no beer or plants, not a bad thing so far. Our diet seems to be the key, has reversed RA for some...but not enough for me therefore I have to experiment with the drugs now, wish there was a better way than drugs! Low carb diet is helpful, beef/eggs/sardines/butter/salt etc, and pure water is what I consume now...starting methotrexate soon. I do miss some of the veggies...maybe I can add some back in time. Good luck! We all need it!
Thank you for sharing!!
Hi thanks for sharing your experience,is your breathless ness issue resolved. My mother is RA overlap ILD ,pl share.
I'm waiting its in my bloods but I'm in so much pain 4 month waiting list
I’m so sorry you are suffering and having to wait so long to see a Rheumatologist. Hopefully your primary care is able to give you something to help you in the meantime. Hang in there warrior! There are many of here who know your shoes. I’m sending good vibes and positive thoughts your way! Hugs! ❤️
Thank you I'm so sick off it
I wish you great success with this new treatment. I get infusions for lupus, so I’m not familiar with this type of medication that you’re taking, but I’ll be looking forward to your video to learn more. Blessings.
Thank you ! 💜
I feel the seme way, I have so many síntomas,that I don’t discuss whit any one
I know it’s a bit scary sometimes to bring it up but hopefully I can encourage you a little. It’s okay to advocate or ask if there is anything more that can be done to improve your symptoms. Hugs! ❤️
Thank you for sharing you experience; I was diagnostic whit Sjogren on 2022; I’m taking maycrophenolto , my side effects are GI problems
Thank u. I've decided to wait till I'm off work a few days just in case of side effects. I've recently been diagnosed with autoimmune disease. I sure hope this works. Have a blessed day. Thanks again.
I always like to try things on the weekend too (when I don’t have to work). It’s nice to know you have time to rest. I’m sending good vibes that methotrexate provides you stability and better days ahead! Hugs, Warrior! ❤️
