Hi Ma'am, i am diagnosed with scleroderma systemaic with rna III. I have given folitrax 10 mg twice a week and daily hcq 200 twice. I feel wound kind of feeling inside stomach and increased heart beat. Please advice how to improve systemps

Ans: Hello Kapil,
Along with medication is is very important for you to seek some natural remedies. You can visit a good naturopathic doctor or a nutritionist or an Ayurveda doctor.
They need to understand your entire lifestyle and give you guidance regarding your nutrition, certain yoga asanas, pranayamas, exercises and some mindfulness techniques.
All these done right over a couple of months should start helping you a lot.
All the best!

I am having lymphocytic vasculitis diagonosed in biopsy currently taking 8mg medrol and hcq 200mg bd,not able to reduce steroid dose.pls suggest

Ans: Any auto immune illnesses are self limiting. You are reacting to your own self.
The work which you need is to reflect and see, how are you treating yourself
How much Compassion do you have for yourself.
How recerant are you with your body and mibd
All these will help you to find healing in a better way. Externally Steroids are now speaking to you to stop reacting
You need to wake the healing process within
