I know scleroderma can seem frightening at first but it is just an often misused and misunderstood title for this disease as there are SO MANY variations of it. It seems that so far you’re fortunate to not have the worst type. Many people hear the term ‘scleroderma’ and mistakenly believe it is only a skin disease! Very frustrating when people have this attitude as victims of diffuse scleroderma, which is known also as progressive systemic sclerosis, is the more appropriate term used by specialist doctors. There is nothing more frustrating when someone asks what have and when the term scleroderma is used, they think and often say, “oh, that just a skin condition”. What the public as well as some GPS fail to understand is that this awful disease can cause organ damage as well as deformities in the body’s joints and skin. This disease should not be plated down. Yes the severest form of it is rare, making it a lonely ☹️ disease to suffer. I should know because I have it. The good news is though that there is more research being done now and although there is no cure, there are many drugs that help with the disease progression as well as symptom relief. Also I believe that a positive attitude and faith in God dramatically help. So far, I have survived with the worst form of the disease for 14 years! Yay 😁

She saved my life once by jumping on my back,which helped to expel the food from my trachea, so I could breathe again! She also helps me with disease related anxiety, plus is now learning public access. She to visit me when I am in hospital. She is just what us scleroderma-fighters need!
Life goes on and the Brits, who coined the term (during what were very dark times) "Keep Calm & Carry On" are pros at this. Well done SRUK, for these uplifting, informative videos that reveal the most important thing of all, that life does go on. My very, very best wishes to Chloe & Danny. I wish good health and happiness to you both and a long life together.
Chloe, I understand you take care off everyone, without thinking of yourself, and I’ve done so since age 14. I’ve only been in testing for a few months, and my doctor gets upset when I search out information. As you said, there can be a lot of unfounded garbage on the net, so it’s best to be careful. With a sinking feeling that this illness may be scleroderma, I’m keeping a positive attitude, and becoming a hypnotherapist in the hopes of at least curbing whatever ails my body. My prayers are with you as I continue fighting and staying positive. (Hope your marriage stays as gleeful and positive as you.)
Hello yes a lot of garbage on google. Dr told me I have scleroderma ţo. I think the main reason is traumas that we have emotional stress ..i think the cure is in ourselves .and I think body can heal itself
Hi You are a lovely person and so lucky to have your family around you. My story is much the same, and just very slowly i have more skin issues but also mainly because I am a redhead and experienced so much sunburn growing up. Mainly over time I have had some lupus crossover issues but being positive about what you do have in your life and do not suffer from today is the best gift any medicine could give you…Food and love is your medicine. I am so happy fo you. Congrats‼️
Hi I've just been diagnosed after 8years of having to pester the GPS and even now just cause I've been diagnosed I'm still getting no help with medication or any kind of help I'm so poorly amd stressed and don't know what to do x
Are you in Cypres Texas. We are just trying to get the Diagnosis part right now. Your video was very helpful to me and my wife. My wife is the one with the condition. We would love to communicate with you more on this subject
Have you tried the AP Protocol? Henry Scammel wrote a book on the specifics. The use of Minocycline with RA, Lupus and Scleroderma has proven successful for many. Wishing you the best!
This treatment worked for me. Within 12 months I went from deaths door to normal blood tests. Then using yoga, nutrition and lifestyle changes I maintained normal internal health for the past 25 yrs. I recommend this as a least harsh effects on the internal organs, low dose antibiotics is a cure imo. The source might be like Lyme disease ie a parasite or infection

My voice completely changed last month. I have problems with every gland I have. I really need a dr who knows about this.
Do you get an infusion in hospital with in example ilomedin? This medicine helps to increase the blood circulation in the vessels - it should help to reduce raynauds attacks.Some patients feel that it helps some not.I do this procedure twice a year and since I have done this at least I am not feeling tired anymore. 👍

He needs to be loved and supported. If you are not willing to do that, then you don't deserve his love.
If you have to ask yourself that then do him a favor and just leave.
