A while back when she started her weight loss journey, during the time she was diagnosed with calciphylaxis, doctors’ opinions on this condition disheartened the influencer. She wrote, “A disease so rare the doctors had to look it up before they could try to treat me. A disease that caused me to have dead necrotic skin that formed excruciating wounds from my thighs to my shoulders,” Reed added. The doctors told her that because the disease is dangerous, she might only live for six months to a year.

A deadly skin disease

It was truly frightening to hear from the doctors that there was almost no way that she could live longer. It was disheartening to her. She kept asking herself if she’d ever see her husband and loved ones again, fearing that, one day, she might not wake up.

Despite all the physical and mental challenges she’s been through, she decided to fight back. “Every scar is proof that I’ve been fighting for my life and against all odds – but this is healing & I’m not giving up no matter what calciphylaxis throws at me,” Reed wrote in the caption. For those who don’t know what calciphylaxis is”, according to the Cleveland Clinic, it is a rare and deadly disease. It happens when calcium builds up in the blood vessels and blocks the flow of blood to the skin. This can lead to open wounds and dangerous infections.

How Reed is dealing with the current situation is truly incredible and inspiring. What do you think about Reed’s life journey? Let us know in the comments.
