The Wellness Project with Karen

Again - the beginning of my journey was Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) first diagnosed in Jan. 2011 and I said Sclero what???

This is a good video for someone like me....I do keep my full tanks in the front closet - perhaps I shouldn’t but the delivery guy hasn’t said anything different.

My docs have shared with me that as soon as funding or a trial is approved in Canada that I will switch to Ofev as it is not an immunosuppressant like I currently take. Immunosuppressants unfortunately make you susceptible to cancer - but it slows down the Fibrosis in my lungs from the Scleroderma. Basically - I’m dammed if I do and I’m dammed if I don’t. All we can do right now is cut my dosage down right now of the mycophenolic.

An overwhelming number of Ontarians believe in organ donation but as many as 2 million also believe a signed donor card is all you need. It's not. We invite all Ontarians especially those who signed donor cards to register as organ and tissue donors at www.BeADonor.ca
