AUTOIMMUNE AWARENESS

Auto-Immune Awareness, entails a lot from person to person. 

This is my personal option on the diseases and syndromes I have, this isn’t for pity, it’s to educate people who don’t know or aren’t aware. 

I have POTS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, degenerative Disc Disease, Raynauds and Orthostatic Hypotension. 

POTS- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome 

Occasionally fainting, Headaches, Brain Fog, fatigue, blurry vision. Weakness, tremors, nausea. It disrupts LIFE in general Be kind because you never know who could have it:) 

Rheumatoid Arthritis- 

This condition can’t be cured, a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints. In regular words, IT SUCKS. 

In rheumatoid arthritis the body’s immune system attacks it’s own tissue, including organs. 

Degenerative Disc Disease- 

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, this is a condition of the discs between vertebrae with loss of cushioning. The reality is, it’s something not a lot of people know about, or know the severity of it. 

Orthostatic hypotension-

Is a medical condition wherein a person’s blood pressure drops when standing up and sitting down. All the TIME.

RAYNAUDS-

A condition which some areas of the body feel numb in certain circumstances, Blood Flow Cut off-Low Oxygen- PAIN>

I started OakWood to spread awareness of Auto-immune Diseases. Because these are only a few out there.

Kid’s Get These Too.

Be kind, these absolutely suck, and all we need is support, the people in my life are what make these better. And enjoying the small things. Because you can’t do a-lot of big things anymore. I Know people who have them are fighters and we have them for a reason. I’ve learned things I never would’ve if I didn’t have them.
