Mogil's MobCast: A Scleroderma Chat
Some allow their diagnosis to define them, falling victim to their diseases and living at the mercy of what the doctors tell them. Then there are those who face their illness head-on, taking responsibility for their own healing and choosing to a live thriving life.-Cami Walker
Mogil's Mobcast
The goal of my podcast is to have a central place for people afflicted with Scleroderma and a place for their families and friends to be informed by specialists in either Scleroderma or autoimmune topics. I will cover a wide range of topics like nutrition, medications, vitamins, and lifestyles. I will also showcase stories from others affected by Scleroderma and how they have dealt with the disease.
I was grateful to have had the opportunity to be interviewed by Eileen Laird and to tell my journey. Eileen also has an autoimmune disease and hosts a podcast called Phoenix Helix. If you have a chance give it a listen. She’s is inspiring!
