    Hi Dr Girnita. You should contact Professor Johannes Nossent here in Perth, Western Australia. My husband was his patient. He had Disabling Pansclerotic Morphea. My husband lost his life to the disease last year on the 18th of August 2023. The disease hit him in November 2014, but he was only diagnosed approximately 16 to 18 months later. He was 54 when the disease manifested, and he was 63 when it ended his life. Such a cruel disease 😔

    Thank you for this! I was actually diagnosed at a Scleroderma Clinic in Chicago at Northwestern. I was diagnosed July 8, 2020. I have systemic sclerosis. My Paternal Aunt passed away from this disease in October 2020. They always tell me that everyone is different. I run a fever most days but this is not common. My Rheumatologist has resigned that this is what my body does. I have severe Reynauds with ulcers frequently and I also have the hemorrhaging in the nail beds constantly. My entire GI tract has been affected. I would highly recommend anyone with this disease since it is so rare, to go to a Scleroderma specialty clinic, since the clinics have different specialists on staff for different body parts affected. I drive 6 hours twice a year and then do telemed appointments on the off months. Again, thank you for this presentation. You did very well!

    Thank you very much for this helpful information. I was diagnosed with this disease last year. My dr is very good but hasn’t really talked to me much about this disease. I had lost my identical twin sister several months before going to this new Rheumatologist in a new town and I believe she was so compassionate she didn’t want to give me more sad news. My twin was diagnosed with IPF and I truly believe now that she had this same condition. I need so much information about this autoimmune disease and treatment. I’m starting to feel like my autoimmune disorder is going at a very rapid pace. I’m afraid before I know it I will be completely in pain and bedridden. I want to fight this as long as I can.

      ⁠​⁠@@susanashworth-mb1hiI’m so sorry that you have been diagnosed with this disease. The only information I get is from listening to this Dr and her ever so patiently teaching of this disease. My primary care Dr and my rheumatologist have yet to discuss just watch my blood work come back worse every few weeks. I don’t know what to do. I’m not feeling very good since January and I’m scared. I will pray for you.

I’m getting scared and I feel I need to move faster than my Dr is moving. While trying to deal with this new pain I’m suffering from my back. I had surgery on back last year but feel it’s starting to get extremely painful again.

    I was diagnosed with CREST scleroderma about 15 years ago and just recently started getting the calcinosis bumps on 2 of my fingers. Some are painful and are like blisters. Is there a treatment for this? I have been to several Rheumatologists who are not too informative. Unfortunately your program doesn't cover my state. Thank you so much for this channel.

    Have you ever heard of any cases of limited systemic sclerosis being aggravated by physical trauma, such as a fall? I fell backward onto both hands and fractured my left pinky. The tip of the fractured finger developed painful, thickened skin, like a callus, which I couldn't figure out. Over the next weeks, several other fingers on both hands developed swelling, Raynauds, and ulcers (right index finger severe). In 3 months I was diagnosed with limited systemic sclerosis, after never having these issues before the fall.

    Excellent presentation. I have been on the road to this DX for a few years now. The latest symptoms that have pointed to Systemic Sclerosis have been swelling and pain in hands and toes, nail changes, Telangiectasias, Barret's esophagus, dysphasia, and joint pain. Pretty much everything but calcinosis, but who knows that might be next. I've had a DX of Polyfibromatosis syndrome for 8 years so I think that's going to be an overlap. Going to see a Rheumatologist in a few months. The wait is due to as the short supply of that specialty in my area. I'm documenting changes with photos to help with the DX. I hope I'm in time to do something to slow it down.
