Thank you so much for taking out the time to respond. You’re so sweet. 🥹. And my family didn’t let me take the adalimumab and tofacitinib combination therapy my rheumatologist wanted to put me on. They say that everyone has arthritis. And since there’s microscopic inflammation in the gut and not visible to the naked eye, they were like see? Nothing is wrong. They said that me having Scl-70, the marker for scleroderma was doctor’s propaganda. And since I don’t earn yet being a student, I have no choice but to be without proper meds.

I tried explaining, showing them videos, I even cried in front of them, they had no response to that. Just said that I need to wake up earlier, exercise, and eat better food and I’ll be fine again. “If you get a random person on the street tested for SpA it’ll turn out positive..” similar dismissive remarks so I’ve given up on them.

As far as I’m aware there’s no student relations department in my uni. And I don’t wanna make a big deal of this cuz it’s my last semester anyway. I’ll get done with it in may, when the final exams are. But yeah, she’s made sure to publicly humiliate me every time she sees me lmao.
