My sister was recently diagnosed and she’s currently struggling with low hemoglobin and chronic vomiting, she just had a procedure (cauterize) of a small laceration of the small intestine and hernia of esophagus- procedure was done 6 days ago and she continues vomiting. Does anyone experience this?

Hello Ruthana I am very sorry to hear about your sister and the trouble she is having! These symptoms are not uncommon in Scleroderma patients but the surgeon should be following her closely and managing these symptoms. Can I ask where your sister is located? Different states have different laws with regard to plant based natural medications which could be very helpful in relieving her symptoms.

Hello Eric, thank you for replying to my post. My sister is located in Los Angeles, Ca what natural medication could be helpful in relieving her symptoms??
-
One option that may give her relief is medical cannabis. In California, Cannabis based medications are legal, and we actually work with a group of licensed pharmacists who provide free consultations to patients. I don’t know if they can service Los Angeles area, but they can definitely consult her on her options. Their information is available here https://services.weheal.org/medone/

It can definitely help with the nausea and vomiting!

This really is not an answer to this question. Instead it is a statistical analysis between patients who EITHER used traditional proven medicine OR used “Complementary” medicine, but not both. However, I heavily used complimentary medicine during my traditional treatments for leukemia and I believe it is one of the reasons I am here today. I would bet everything that if they were to examine patients who used proven complementary medicine techniques IN ADDITION to the most advanced traditional approach technologies, they would have the highest level of survival! IN other words, don’t put all your eggs in one basket, and instead look at the statistical outcome data for all possible approaches, and use a collaborative approach with the best of both worlds.
