Living with AutoImmune Diseases
Hi Tawny please don’t apologize for a long post. I am so glad you came across this blog and this post. More than anything know you are NOT alone and millions of other women are also suffering. Yea – the weird rashes. Sigh Just one of many unexplainable symptoms. Hang in there, and keep pushing. Buy some books on the AIP (auto immune protocol) diet and try to eat as gluten and sugar free as you can. I have started yoga for stress and I think its helping. More than anything, give yourself permission to rest when your body says rest. Hope to hear from you soon and that you are making some progress. Blessings, Barb
Living with AutoImmune Diseases
Kaitlyn there are lots and lots of support groups on Facebook. Just do a search for auto immunes. Don’t give up. This is NOT in your head. I have also been told that numerous times by so-called medical professionals. Yes, it took me almost 7 years but I also had faith in doctors, most of whom have NO idea how to deal with auto immunes. I will give this advise lightly because everyone has to find their own journey to health, but read, read, read and research. I truly think diet is key. I gave up all sugar, for example, and noticed a huge difference. I added vitamins (Vit D-3 (5000mg) has done wonders for me!) I also added b6 and b12 and take Turmeric for inflammatory as well as Brigg’s apple cider vinegar. I have also cut out almost all gluten. I say almost because I am human and slip up. My point is, there are some things you can control today starting with your diet. You have to get your gut healthy again. Take a good probiotic. YOU have to start being your own health advocate. I know it sounds overwhelming and I know it sounds like you have to give up a lot. In some ways you do. But I decided I would rather give up some things and have my life back than live the way I was.

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. I also get lesions on my scalp and that is generally a sign I am going to have a flair up. I will say I have been feeling much better since I started a KETO diet and I am using lots of essential oils. I also started taking B6-B12 and 5000mg Vit D-3 and a good probiotic and its made a huge difference. If you can afford it, try to see a Naturopathic doctor. Praying for you. xxoo

Hi Jane – yes we do need to take care of ourselves. I am an independent type and do not like others taking care of me. Health is so, so important in our everday being. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy 2018. xxoo
