AP therapy questions

[Tracy]

Hi..I was diagnosed with sclederma in July. I am currently not on any medication other than just starting AP therapy 4 days ago. Im still in the process of testing. Just waiting for the results of a second CT of my lungs and to do a second stress test since I didn’t make it through my last one.I’m feeling terrible. Tired…muscle pain….trouble climbing stairs ..anxiety. would this be due to hexing? It’s very similar to when I was first diagnosed in July. Might this be considered a flair up? My doctor was happy to prescribe the antibiotics but has no idea what hes doiing other than to follow the protocol. Any thoughts?
