Autoimmune Diseases Community Group
Autoimmune diseases are diseases resulting from a disordered immune reaction in which antibodies are produced against one's own tissues, as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis. There are also many different kinds of autoimmune diseases. With dealing with something like this people need help with their mental health. The best way is to talk about it.
Hey! I started this group because I have many autoimmune diseases and have had them starting at age 4. Recently, my medicine hasn't been working and I realized that I'm not that happy. I'm a freshman in college and have more diseases than my grandma. I'm here for anyone if people want to talk. It would be nice to meet similar people.
That is tough to have to get these Autoimmune diseases at such a young age! I started being effected with them when I was around 25, it has taken 35 years to get a Dx, at least for some of them. The main Dx is PsA, it effects about 80 joints, counting all the joints in the hands, feet, chest, legs and facets in the spine. I always get amused when a doctor asks where it hurts, I say, " my ears don't hurt." Years of going to no nothing doctors, that misdiagnose you, or try to send you to a shrink... I lost a year with my first Rheumy refusing to do any tests, saying it was just "wear and tear", she only x-rayed one hand... The other Dx has gone back and forth from FMS to SLE Lupus, it is currently at FMS, even though I got results from anti malarial drug and positive tests for Lupus 3 years in a row.
Anyway, thanks for starting the new group, I will tell my other DS autoimmune friends about it!
There is a natural way to get well that has worked for many other people. Basically no disease can survive in an alkaline aerobic condition, so raise your body pH to 7.36 - 7.40 and breath properly. You also have to seriously detox your body. Send me an email to rickschwim@gmail.com if you want more details.
