You know what's an even greater concern among female patients', even more than an inaccurate diagnosis?? Gaslighting. Imagine that. The stress of being gaslighted weighs heavier on the heart than the disease. There is so much work to do & Red Clay Wellness is doing it. #womenshealth #gaslighting

Sjogren's loves to bring a heavy dose of inflammation & swelling to every party. 15 minutes per day can reduce swelling, improve circulation & help prevent blood clots.

Gastrointestinal issues, even with a clean diet, seem almost inevitable. Food intolerances, dysphagia, GERD & myositis are just some of the common & almost guaranteed manifestations found among Sjogren's patients.

For me adding natural probiotics like buttermilk have been a gamechanger. #guthealth

On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson, a veteran & star athlete became the first African American to play in the MLB. His perseverance, dignity & grace in the face of vitriol & hate are a reminder to us all that hate will NOT win...EVER. #JackieRobinson #42 #baseball #MLB #sports

Eye problems & Sjogren's go hand n hand. Dry lacrimal glands(no tears) conjunctivitis,blurry vision & dermatomyositis are some of theost commonly reported eye issues. A patient may experience some or all of these symptoms.
To anyone living w/this disease know there's still joy, love & purpose.

Pronounced SHOW*GRINS...Sjogren's is a complex, systemic , Autoimmune disease causing the immune system to go haywire & attack healthy cells instead of bacteria & viruses.

There is no cure. The disease is progressive & debilitating. Please share this post & help me spread awareness. #health

Disabilities don't discriminate based on age, race, gender or political party. Organizations assisting disabled citizens are still waiting for funding to resume.
* ILC centers
* Special Ed programs
*Housing assistance programs
We need a real Congress. Midterms can't come fast enough.

Did you know it's legal for disabled workers to be offered a sub minimum wage?? We must continue to fight for legislation making this illegal.
