Wanted to share this with you!

This article is mostly about autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus or Sjogren’s, but we get this question Alot also. Why does it take so long? And this explains it perfectly!This article is mostly about autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus or Sjogren’s, but we get this question Alot also. Why does it take so long?

Metals Used in Surgery - Autoimmune Diseases

I was reading an article and it mentions that some folks develop autoimmune diseases after having dental implants or surgery with metals in their body. I had a metal plate in my foot and 8 screws in my leg after I had an accident in 2010. I was diagnosed with PBC in 2016.I was reading an article and it mentions that some folks develop autoimmune diseases after having dental implants or surgery with metals in their body.

Anyone have experience with ice pick headaches?

I've read that these can be associated with autoimmune diseases such as MS and lupus.

Health Professionals Need More Training on Autoimmune Diseases

I wrote about this already, but will change it slightly. Finding a Physical Therapist who understands PMR is impossible in my area. It is disconcerting that the ones I have dealt who have advanced degrees in PT, have never heard of PMR; consequently, I have been more physically hurt by some exercisesI wrote about this already, but will change it slightly.

PBM therapy??

It’s used for systemic conditions such as chronic fatigue and autoimmune diseases. I prick up my ears at the sound of anything which could sort out my never ending bouts of fatigue which have plagued me through my long pmr journey.
