The story of Madeline
I was first diagnosed with dermatomyositis in august 2022. I’m only 25 years old, I have a 2 year old daughter and I was 18 weeks pregnant at the time of diagnosis. I could barely walk, I couldn’t hold my daughter and the future of my pregnancy was unsure. Most auto immune diseases subside while a woman is pregnant, somehow my body decided to do the exact opposite. So far the doctors I’ve spoken with have assured me that my pregnancy is going great and that’s the biggest blessing I could receive! The future is still unknow but I have faith that everything will turn out ok!
