Shirl, there are lots of cheap things you can still do at home to help you. Things like eating lots of raw garlic (does that make you feel sick? or help?), and taking other antivirals, doing colonics or enemas, massage (can your mate give you a massage?) meditation, yoga, eating an alkaline diet, H202 baths, epsom salt baths, drinking aloe vera juice, doing a juice fast, coffee enemas, skin brushing, taking digestive enzymes, kidney flush, liver flush.....I sure would like to hear that something in this list is helping you like it has helped me....I'm really hoping for you!

Love,

Patty

I really don't think I can handle veggie juices. I can't handle eating most vegetables now. I did juice for about 5 months before my digestion got real bad. You might remember Patty, it was when I was fasting once a week for a day. I really don't have the funds to do anymore treatment. I'm pretty much tapped out. There's so much I would like to do that I just can't afford. Even stuff like acupuncture. I'm kinda stuck right now. The only things I can do is try and eat good, take supplements and do some light stretching. That's it until I win the lotto....haha I'm just curious, did that lady that had the scleroderma get diagnosed with something else after she got the implants? What did she die from?-Shirl-

Hmm that is interesting, while you took the diflucan were you also on

the yeast diet?

I take them every day. Thanks for the info, I'll check out the website. I've been through about 25 doctors in my area and surrounding areas, none seem to help me much. This doctor is the first to do any kind of treatment. Sometimes I wonder if I had treatment sooner maybe I wouldn't be as sick as I am. I really don't think I have a full blown case of scleroderma. I think it's just an autoimmune disease with some symptoms of scleroderma.

shirl,

what are your symptoms? I have some scleroderma like

symptoms. I developed raynaud type symptoms, and the

skin on my face started acting weird-hard spots in it

that I could just pick at and would bleed. If I would

run my fingernail over these areas the skin would

catch--they are near my ear area on both sides of my

face. I tried asking my dermatologist about them but

he kind of blew me off. also my fingers and toes

started hurting allthe time and my fingers started

swellling--but not noticably. Only I could feel it.

Then all the tendons in my neck and arms and legs got

real tight and my neck clicks when I move it. mY skin

felt like it was getting tighter on my arms and legs

and face, but then it would feel looser. However, if

I took the clindamycin or minocin, then my arms and

fingers would hurt and then would feel more normal and

any swelling would disappear. The skin would on my

fingertips would feel real sensitive, and yet later

feel thicker and insensitive. The lining of my nose

would feel weird and dry and tight, and the linings of

my ear would feel the same. My mouth and tongue and

gums would often tingle. Did you or do you have any

of these symptoms? Dr. sinnot says it sounds like I

have symptoms of a few different connective tissue

illness but nothing diagnosaable. Please tell me more

about you. thanks.

I have tightening on my hands and my skin feels thicker. It has wrinkled up very severely in the last 2 years. It tightened up twice where I couldn't bend my fingers for almost a week. But usually it's tight all the time but I can still bend my fingers.
