Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are diseases in which antibodies attack healthy cells instead of harmful viruses.
ReplyDeleteI have scleroderma, but I have Sjogren's syndrome (Hashimoto and fibromyalgia), all autoimmune diseases. I can not say much, except for one thing is true for all patients with autoimmune diseases: absoultely need much support and understanding.
This is mainly for 2 reasons: 1 Autoimmune diseases usually cause no symptoms, signs mean (which is that the patient not by tests such as blood pressure feel recognized, heart rate, ... etc.). This leads to people around the patient did not include patients, because nothing can be detected outside or tests. I still have pain and it is not easy to understand how some people. Not that I suffer from diabetes, say only: "My blood sugar than 40 years." No, it's something that I'm alone and I alone know.
2. There is no cure for autoimmune diseases. The person has to live wior her. The medicines you will take only alleviate symptoms, but there is nothing to solve the real problem.
Some points to consider:
When it comes to autoimmune disorders (such as they are very rare, hard to diagnose, difficult to know if there) is no improvement or no improvement or cure, the patient knows more than the doctor. To live Autoimmune diseases are something you learn it. This is a part of everyday life. Thus, the patient must learn to know what makes him feel better.
Support your mother that you can. If she says she does not feel well, I think. Although scleroderma can spread only in the stomach and another autoimmune disease (because it is so close), so if for some reason your mom intends to implement to another school second physician or additional tests in order to promote it.
Hope this helps.
