Meet the Walk Coordinator, Bev O'Brien
I was diagnosed with Scleroderma in 2021. I have had Raynaud’s for over 30 years. My GI symptoms started 9 years ago. Through multiple scopes they found Barrett’s Esophagitis and a hiatus hernia. I had a toupee fundoplication to try to alleviate the acid burning my esophagus. My gut motility is compromised. I take medication to help with acid and motility. I have been experiencing shortness of breath for about 3 years. Where I was able to hike and walk for kilometers now I have difficulty walking just 1 km. My heart and lungs are monitored yearly and I’m currently waiting on specialist appointments.
After attending the Scleroderma Conference in NFLD this past fall I’m learning to be a stronger advocate for myself. My biggest take away from the conference was to encourage medical professionals to look at my symptoms with the scleroderma lense and not just at my age. Managing your health and keeping track of your appointments, medication, and symptoms is important. Scleroderma is certainly part of my life but it doesn’t define me. I continue to make connections with people and enjoy my journey as much as possible.
