Can Ayurveda help manage Fabry disease symptoms? - #16687
For years, I felt like something was off with my body, but no doctor could give me a clear answer. I used to experience burning pain in my hands and feet, especially after physical activity or even slight changes in temperature. I also had frequent stomach issues – bloating, pain, and sometimes diarrhea out of nowhere. I thought it was just poor digestion, but nothing I tried helped. It wasn’t until last year that a genetic test confirmed I have Fabry disease. My doctor explained that Fabry disease is rare and caused by an enzyme deficiency, which leads to the buildup of certain substances in the body. Over time, this can damage organs like the kidneys, heart, and even the nervous system. Right now, my kidney function is still okay, but my doctor warned me that Fabry disease can lead to serious complications if not managed properly. I’ve been prescribed enzyme replacement therapy, but honestly, I’m worried about the long-term side effects. I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and how it focuses on balancing the body naturally. I wonder if Ayurvedic herbs or treatments can help reduce the pain and slow down the progression of Fabry disease? Since this condition affects multiple organs, are there specific Ayurvedic therapies to protect the kidneys and heart? Also, my fatigue levels are getting worse – I feel exhausted all the time. Are there natural energy-boosting remedies in Ayurveda that can help someone with Fabry disease? If anyone has experience managing Fabry disease with Ayurveda, I’d love to know what worked. I don’t expect a complete cure, but I just want to feel better and prevent future complications. Please share any herbal remedies, diet changes, or lifestyle modifications that could help improve my quality of life.
