  • "Dear Scleroderma" is a documentary series that portrays the physical, mental and emotional struggles of Scleroderma patients who are battling this difficult disease.
    Scleroderma is a rare, incurable autoimmune disease that causes a hardening of the connective tissue and can cause a wide range of life altering symptoms such as: difficulty swallowing, painful tightening of the skin, painful changes to the muscles and joints, difficulty breathing, painful sores on finger tips, and many more. When internal organs are involved this disease can be life threatening.
    Awareness is crucial on the road to finding a cure. Please share this video and help educate others and inspire support of scleroderma research!

    Hi Jessica, I'm a scleroderma patient as well... ❤
    I had it from a young age but unfortunately I was diagnosed by a GP doctor that I'm very enimic, because I was fainting and collapsing anywhere and anytime... I was diagnosed later on after having double pneumonia twice and the second time I was on the brink of death and afterwards I recovered from it, because it was a battle for to recover and at my last doctor's appointment I was diagnosed..
    Don't give up Jessica, I'm aware that everyday is a battle but you are not alone....
    To you and all other scleroderma patients I would like to say, We all are in this together nomatter the weather 😘❤️🤗😘😘

    I was just diagnosed definitively with scleroderma. Been dealing with physical changes now for a year a little over a year and skin has changed a lot since then. It’s scary.

      Same here I have systemic scleroderma it’s very scary I’ve been dealing with it for a while not knowing exactly what was going on until I went to the Dr. I’m trying to find a way how to live everyday with this. 😢

    It can be so hard to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. It really helps to know you're not alone in this fight. That there are other people out there that truly understand and know the battles. I think I found you right when I needed to hear your story. Thank you so much for sharing. May God bless you and keep you! 🙏
