Today I had my regular visit with my rheumatologist (every 6 weeks now instead of every4 weeks!). We went over the usual: he checked the skin on my face, my hands, we checked my muscle weakness, and we talked about my fatigue.
I showed my rheumatologist how my classic lupus/scleroderma hands had totally changed. He was impressed. There is still some swelling but my cuticles are almost completely healed. He felt that the skin on my cheeks was almost NORMAL! He said that I’m stronger (yes, I can tell!). I showed him all the new hair that I’ve grown, and how strong and long my nails are. I’ve never had nails like this except when I was pregnant with my sons back in 96 and 99.
But most of all, he’s thrilled with my blood work. ALL of my liver functions are completely normal now. My CPK (the muscle enzyme that was up to 3500 last summer – indicator of the polymyositis) is 47! It’s been 43-47 for several weeks now! My white blood cell count was a little low, so he LOWERED MY IMMUNE-SUPPRESSIVE MEDS!! That’s the azathioprine/Imuran.
So, now I’m down to 10 mg/dl of prednisone (down from 60) and we started to lower my azathioprine. Oh! And even better, my other doctor last week lowered my Warfarin (Coumadin) because my blood is thinner!
Hmm, the coincidences here of the Ganoderma helping to balance the immune system, helping to naturally prevent coagulation in my blood, being reflected in my blood work… Well, you be the judge.
I told my doctor that I felt that things really started to turn around for me when I started the Ganoderma. BTW, I told him back in February when I started it, and he OK’d it. Anyway, today he said that clearly the Ganoderma/Reishi/lingzhi was doing great things for me and to continue taking it!
We talked about how this might help other patients with auto-immune disorders like my lupus/scleroderma/polymyositis. He said that he can’t recommend it to people, but that he certainly can tell them about my experience and tell them how to go look it up, and where to get it.
Wow. Think of all the people with all these devastating illnesses that just MIGHT get better from this herb. All these people whose lives might be changed, who might be able to stop living with pain, who might regain the energy to PLAY WITH THEIR CHILDREN AGAIN. Wow!!
