SCBefore & after my Scleroderma diagnosis 🌻
I’m going to make this a short post because it has been one of the hardest videos to make.
On the positive side it is good reminder that regardless of my Scleroderma diagnosis my body has been constantly changing. We tend to get attached to our looks forgetting that we are not going to be young forever. We are all going to change as we get older 😜 My transformation is just a little bit different.
Systemic Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that attacks the connecting tissue. Most of your body is made up of connective tissue so that means it can attack 99% of your body.
Not everyone has the same progression. Some have more internal issues and others more external. The thing is that change is inevitable so it’s better to accept the reality of your condition than to keep fighting it.
I think the saddest part about this post is knowing that the woman before my diagnosis was so insecure about her looks. I wish I could go back and hug her and let her know she was and is still beautiful 💕🌺 & she was stronger than she thought she was.
Now I’m here and I’m still trying to get used to my new looks but I’m not angry anymore. I’m thankful and excited to learn this new side of me ☀️
