scleroderma/lupus/raynauds

[kp19701969]

Hello,
If anyone can give me there insight on these horrible autoimmune diseases.  My 14 was diagnosed with all three diseases.  Dont know wheather I am coming or going.  How fast does this disease progress?  I have to share that I have started her on a series of supplements and since she has been really good with no stiffness or pain.  Wondering if that is just a coincidence and wishfull thinking?

Hi,
My daughter has antibodies for lupus scleroderma and hashimoto. She too has raynauds in her feet.
I was all for giving her supplements too. Her doctor advised against it because with these conditions the immune system is already in high gear and alot of the supplements are immune system boosters .  So you may want to be careful with that !

Hi, I am not one that has scleroderma, but do have a family member that does....I do have raynauds in conjuction with Ehlers-Danlos...and symptoms do cycle and flare...so, do be advised it may be good for a long period or a short period, but I would also advise keeping a journal to see if ne thing may be a trigger for a flare up.

Positive thinking never hurt neone
All the best to u and ur DD
