My Story

Monday 25th May
I was diagnosed with Scleroderma in August of 2019.  I had been doctoring for several years with no answers.  I went in for my annual check up in early 2109 and my PA asked if I had ever had an ANA test. I said "I don't think so, but I don't know for sure." She said it was blood test and since she was sending me for labs anyway, could she add it to the orders.  I said "Sure, why not.  What's it going to hurt?"  She called me the next day with results and they were off the chart.  She referred me to rheumatology at the U of M.  I was diagnosed at my first appointment at the U of M. I continue my treatment there with a wonder doctor. My symptoms are stable, but still present in my everyday life.  

Scleroderma is difficult to diagnosis and treat.  The symptoms are the same in every patient, but the way the present themselves and affect the person is very different.  There is not a cure for Scleroderma and treat is a lot of trial and error.  There is a lot of ongoing research for better treatment options and hopefully someday a cure.  

If you are able to make a donation and/or walk, I grately appreciate it. The Scleroderma Foundation, is grateful as well.  If not, that is OK.  I appreciate you taking time to read my story and considering making a donation.

Thank you again for your time and consideration.
