Wednesday 20th May Hello everyone!As some of you may know i have been battling with Scleroderma for the past 5 years. One day at work I boosted a patient, and banged my finger. It didn't heal correctly which led to blood work and the dx of Scleroderma. For those of you who dont know what Scleroderma is. ( i had never heard of it prior to my dx) is an autoimmune disease that makes your body produce too much collagen — the protein that gives skin its structure. The extra collagen builds up in skin and sometimes in internal organs, causing them to harden and thicken. It can also affect your digestive system. I hsve had 12 dilations ( stretching of my esophagus) as well as steroid injections just to try and eat properly. Raynard syndrome is a big issue as well. I have really awful circulation all year round. Especially in the winter. Living in New Englad ( Boston area) doesn't help. I wouldn't change it though. I have the best support team from my mother, husband and my kids. Thanks for reading this. Please donate to help find a cure
