I made up some simple, basic whiteboard videos to explain some of my conditions. I hope you enjoy these! These are not in-depth by any means, but they are still worth a look. Each video is only 1 minute long.
SFN and Raynauds were the first things I was diagnosed with. This explained some of my symptoms, but the doctor was sure that there was an underlying cause (or several). I had a skin biopsy to confirm the SFN
I have secondary Raynauds.
My Rheumatologist felt SS was a likely culprit. A lip biopsy was the confirmation.
Once we started treatment of my SS we began looking more carefully at my increasing joint pain. Early RA was the answer and I began treatment.
My latest addition to my diagnosis collection. This was probably the actual first thing I had. The in depth history made me realize I have had symptoms and hypermobility since I was a kid.
