Raynauds
Juliette’s Story—From Chronic Fatigue to Living Life Fully Again
My onset of CFS was very gradual. I had Raynaud’s and sleep difficulties for almost 10 years before any other symptoms appeared.
Rosemary’s Story—Believing in Recovery When No One Else Did
Writing the story has been very difficult, I just could not put it down on paper what I have experienced so will give a brief outline with the chance to update later. So thrilled and excited today to find that at last my immune system is clocking in after 3 years and three months of aggressive antibiotic therapy every day and no other supplement except antifungal and acidiphillous treatment for three years even though necessary I could not tolerate or manage the changes with them interacting with the A/P. Was concerned but had faith I would pull it all together eventually.
Lisa J’s Story—A Navy Veteran’s Journey Through MCTD
I was always a healthy kid growing up. It seemed no matter what I did, I never got hurt bad. Not even a broken bone. When I was 16 I came down with Mono. I was sick for three weeks and thought I was going to die. I got over it and I seemed to be back to normal except I was tired all of the time.
