Episode 23: When Your Child Has Autoimmune Disease
This episode of the Phoenix Helix podcast addresses a difficult topic: When your child has autoimmune disease. We all know that it's a terrifying moment to receive an autoimmune diagnosis yourself. To receive one for your child is simply overwhelming. It's natural to feel helpless and unsure of what to do. We want to protect our children and usher them into a beautiful life. How do we do this in the middle of chronic illness? I invited 4 parents onto the show today, who have walked this path already. They share their experience and their advice for new parents facing this situation. Ciarra's daughter has Hashimoto's. Allan and Barbara's daughter has Crohn's. And Denise's daughter has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Uveitis.
