Scleroderma is a rare, chronic disease characterized by excessive deposits of collagen. Scleroderma affects the skin, and in more serious cases it can affect the blood vessels and internal organs. The most evident symptom is the hardening of the skin and associated scarring.
Hi, I have been studying a lot about Limisted Scleroderma since I was diagnosed and now know that I am in the very early stages of the disease.
I am wondering when any of you realized or learned your symptoms were connected with scleroderma?
Were any of you diagnosed very early? If so what were your early symptoms?
How long was it before you had Raynaud's symptoms?
What were the ealy signs of your Raynaud's?
I have so many unanswered questions.
Thank you for any response.

I believe I can answer some of your questions. I have had diffused scleroderma since I was eighteen but was diagnosed four years ago. If you would like to talk, my email is adavis90@ameritech.net
