Hi, my name is Lori Stewart, I am 32 years old and have been married for 12 years, I have 3 children, all girls. I have a pending diagnosis of Scleroderma. I have struggled with symptoms now for about 8 years but things started to progress more about a year ago when I started to develop problems swallowing and was having so much pain in my knees and hips it was hard to even walk anymore, my digestive system was such a mess that eating was a struggle too and my kidneys were not functioning properly either.
I went to a nutritionist and started on several supplements and a complete diet change of no sugar, no salt, no white flour and my diet is to consist of 80% vegetables a day and I have to drink alot of water.I am feeling so much better I am gardending again and sewing and doing crafts.I homeschool my girls now too which was something I wanted to do for a long time.I believe that the Lord led me to this nutritionist at just the right time, it may not have been the timing in which I would have chosen having to struggle for 8 years first but I trust in His timing , He has taught me alot through these difficult years,saved my marriage through these struggles and brought our family much closer together.
I would never want to go back through the last 8 years but am very thankful for what has come out of them. I still have days where I feel pretty yucky and have alot of pain but overall I am doing much better and I am so thankful for this.I try to take it a day at a time now and I value the time I have been given with my husband and my girls.
