Sleepy

[Sandie12]

Hi am new on here just been diagnosed with Raynaud's,s and Scleroderma started taking butcher's broom , fish oil, odourless garlic , and Ginkgo Biloba that seems to ease the tingling but I seem to get very tired is that normal?

[Mylreaclairelee]

Oh the chronic fatigue is my biggest problem. Really struggle to walk up the slightest rise let alone stairs. By the way what is butcher's broom?

[Sandie12 in reply to Mylreaclairelee]

Butcher's broom is a herdal tablet

[Littleleni]

Do I have a naturopath? Ur regimen is good you

Need to address the fatigue. She would know what to give

You. Ask her about low dose naltrexone or licorice root.

Ok thanks so much

[jacquelinajane in reply to Littleleni]

Licorice vasoconstricts!

[Littleleni in reply to jacquelinajane]

Yeh so does prednisone only way worse and it has three times as many side affects and depletes your adrenals. Licorice in small doses supports that. You need to be guided by a qualified natural path. People are so quick to get on ten different drugs thinking each one is a quick fix. Be careful, they can kill you more than the disease.

Fatigue can be a part of it. Nutritional supplements are helpful, especially B complex, B 12, calcium and vitamin C. Niacin, 500 mgs three times daily helps Raynaud's syndrome.

[beaglab in reply to Sandie12]

Yes, me too! People need nutritional supplements all the time.

[Sandie12]

Hi lol I get sweats all the time no it's not from Raynaud's is it from Scleroderma? I've also got a 3 bruises on my knee cap they don't go away or fade does anyone else have these symptoms?

[JessicaEccles6 in reply to Sandie12]

I have always had a lot of sweats with scleroderma- and still do. It wasn't until I came on these sites that I found out it's a common symptom and lots of other people suffer with it as well. It's got worse since I have been on prednisolone.
