  • My mother was diagnosed last year with scleroderma. I work as a registered nurse, and just knew her life was no longer going to be the same. Least to say, I was terrified knowing how debilitating this disease is. Fortunately we have a great support system, and a fantastic rheumatologist whom helped her tremendously. Thank you for spreading the awareness and educating the world of this disease💙

    My mother had scleroderma and died in 2011... she was a registered nurse and lived with this disease all my life. She orchestrated the first scleroderma walks here in Nashville and continuously had educational booths that I helped with at conventions
  • My father died of this disease he was an outdoorsman I’m convinced it came upon as a result of a reaction to Lyme disease

    Looking into the AP Protocol is worth it. The book written by Henry Scammel explains why using certain antibiotics such as Minocycline, can put patients with Scleroderma into remission for long periods of time. Best wishes!

    My Uncle died from this and an elderly friend lost his wife to this.
  • I have 4 of the 5 features, and I was also diagnosed by my rheumatologist recently, after I described issues that I’ve been feeling with for 10 or more years, depending on which symptom I was talking about. I didn’t tell him that I had acid reflux, but I didn’t know that had anything to do with rheumatology, I do have acid flux. I have puffy hands, telangestasia, raynaud’s and acid reflux.
