Try To Be Physically Active

Because illnesses give people who have it some source of negative fatigue and as well as pain or stiffness in some parts of the body, most people would tend to be less active and unmotivated. Unfortunately, to keep your body physically strong and to relieve you of stress, you would have to do some physical exercises to keep you healthy. This does not only make you much healthier but would also make you happier with the many things you can do.

Ask your doctor about some exercises you can do despite your condition. Just think about other things that you can do aside from staying in bed and activities of which you enjoy doing such as gardening, playing with grandchildren and having short walks. Take note that you don’t have to do a complete marathon or very strenuous exercises to keep you healthy, the mere fact of having you moving from time to time is already enough to keep you healthy.

Life With Uncertainty

Possibly, the most difficult part when it comes to life with sclerosis could be that things are very uncertain. There no known cure, you would never know what it could lead or you would never know what could happen next, the bitter part of this is that you are not in control. Considering all that, you should know how to live with your condition and you can do this by getting used to it.

Getting used to your condition would take some time, after a while you should already learn what goals in life you should have and what things you can do. You should also choose not to be a victim of your condition, take note that there is a significant difference between a victim of an illness and a person living with disease. How you live is up to you and that would decide how life would be with your condition.

The first step in doing so is to humbly accept the changes that scleroderma will bring about. Have a mindset like “now that I have scleroderma, I will…” and much more. You may not be able to do a lot of things that you have enjoyed before but you still have a good life to live and if you manage it well, you will definitely enjoy it.

Take Control

You must be first aware that you are suffering from something that is quite serious and has no known cure. With that, most people with sclerosis would be less social, would think about their health more and would lose loads of self-confidence. You must not think of these too much, you just have to take care of yourself more. Since you are borne with something such as sclerosis, you just have to take control in order for things to be in tune.

Remember that your illness is just a part of your life and there is a much bigger whole to that. Just have a healthy balance of activities as well as clean living and the most important part of that being control. If you are in good control, life with scleroderma will turn out much easier for you.
