Three years ago a dream came true. After years of trying, l was blessed to give birth to my son. Shortly after giving birth, I began to experience a series of strange health issues ranging from severe joint pain, severe fatigue, digestive disorders, rashes and general malaise. I consulted a dermatologist late 2016 for hair loss, later determined to be alopecia areata.
Labs tests were completed and a number of abnormal results including a positive ANA (looks for autoimmune diseases), Positive SCl-70 (a test for Scleroderma), abnormal immunoglobulins and elevated CRP (measures protein in the blood) and sedimentation rates (used to detect inflammation in the body) were noted.
