67 y.o femme with calcinosis cutis

This is the third case i found, they are all in bilateral lateral aspect of thigh Calcinosis cutis is a condition in which calcium salts are deposited in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is classified into five main types: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, iatrogenic, and calciphylaxis. Dystrophic calcification is the most common cause of calcinosis cutis and is associated with normal laboratory values of calcium and phosphorus. There is an underlying disease, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease, or lupus, that induces tissue damage and creates a nidus for calcification. Metastatic calcification has abnormal serum levels of calcium and phosphorus with deposition occurring after calcium phosphate product exceeds 70. Idiopathic calcification has no underlying tissue damage or abnormal laboratory values. It includes tumoral calcinosis, subepidermal calcified nodules, and scrotal calcinosis. Iatrogenic calcification is caused by administration of calcium or phosphate containing agent and inducing precipitation of calcium salts. Calciphylaxis involves calcification of small and medium-sized vessels and is associated with chronic renal failure and dialysis. The disorder is classified as calcinosis circumscripta if it is limited to an extremity or joint. Calcinosis universalis occurs when there is diffuse involvement of subcutaneous and fibrous structures of muscles and tendons. Text from : Le C, Bedocs PM. Calcinosis Cutis. [Updated 2019 Jul 16].

Living with Lupus is often a battle not just against the illness itself, but also against the emotional weight of uncertainty, fatigue, and the toll of long-term medications. For one courageous woman, that battle began in 2013. Diagnosed after Lupus had already affected her joints and internal organs, she was quickly placed on medication that initially helped. But as time went on, her health declined again this time with more frequent flare-ups and increasingly difficult side effects. Like many others with chronic illness, she faced the crushing weight of hopelessness. Each day became harder than the last, and conventional treatments no longer offered the comfort they once did. But in March 2020, at her lowest point, she made a decision that changed everything.Out of desperation and with a healthy dose of skepticism she turned to NaturePath Herbal Clinic, hoping their natural Lupus treatment might offer at least some relief. What happened next went far beyond her expectations.After completing a six-month herbal program, her flare-ups stopped entirely. Her energy returned. The chronic pain that had defined her daily life began to fade. For the first time in years, she felt like herself again. Not just alive but truly living.Her story is not just one of healing; it’s one of resilience, open-mindedness, and the courage to try something new when all else fails. By sharing her journey, she hopes to offer something priceless to others living with Lupus: hope.This treatment has been a true breakthrough for her. If you’re searching for a safe, natural, and effective alternative, I genuinely recommend giving this a chance.”www.naturepathherbalclinic.com or email them at info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
