Hi:
I also have an auto-immune disease called schleroderma. I have had symptoms since the early 90,s, but was not diagnosed until 2000. Before, I was diagnosed with depression, epilepsy and hypochondria. It was not until my hands drew up that anyone believed anything was actually wrong. Unfortunately, this is not uncommen.
The Reiki sounds like something I would like to look into. How would I go about finding a Reiki practitioner in my area? Also, how can I be certain of their qualifications?
Blessed be.
