Hi Has anyone treated a client with this condition? what oils did you use and essential oils and how was the outcome for them 😮 x
Localised or systemic?
Systemic, he is very bent over, but can stand up, has little muscle strength or bulk, lots of loose skin and has some hard skin only on his fingers. Joint pain is confined to the left joint of the elbow. He is taking Viagra, uses an inhaler and he couldn't remember the other meds but is finding the list. He wears cotton gloves for warmth and grip. Aged 72 but doesn't look it, surprisingly looks in his 60's:)
So has any one got any thing they could share on this 🙂 x
I can't really add anything as I am not an aromatherapist. I have treated two people with systemic scleroderma. One had the CREST form, the other had Diffuse Scleroderma. Both were women. Sadly both died from complications of the disease. One was 56 the other 63.
I'm not sure why he may be taking viagra, unless this is a recent innovation for the control of the disease.
Hopefully someone from the aromatherapy forum will pick up on this. I treated the ladies using MLD to help to relieve the swelling that occurred in their joints.
It is a nasty condition.
I've moved this to the Aromatherapy forum as it'll probably attract more focused attention in respect of the question. 😉
