For those of you that have never heard of SCLEREDERMA, here is a little post from Tori and her experience with this disease.

reposted by Tori Anderson
someone recently asked, just what is scleroderma? scleroderma is a big mishmash of incurable stuff. it is the hardening and thickening of the organs, including skin. this is just a glimpse into my life. so many more have it far worse. i have systemic diffuse scleroderma, lupus, ra, graves disease, raynaud's, sjogran's, sicca syndrome, neuropathy, mild scarring in my lungs, loss of peripheral vision, osteoporosis, a recent mini stroke and, possible fibromyalgia.
for me, it means pain, it means sleepless nights, restless days and restless legs, it means that i can no longer do some of the simple things most of us take for granted. i can’t put my hands over my head and need help getting dressed. i have trouble putting my socks on and tying my shoes. i have trouble brushing my teeth and trouble chewing. i can’t bite into a sandwich and, i sometimes choke on even the smallest bite of food, sometimes i choke on air. it means that whenever i take a drink, inevitably whatever i’m drinking, is going to dribble down the side of my cup and my mouth. it means that i look like a ninety year old smoker and i’ve never smoked. it means the loss of mobility and my hair, and the ends of my fingers. it means poor circulation and painful ulcers. it means monthly blood tests and lots of pills that haven’t been proven to help, and not knowing from one doctor visit to the next what’s going to happen. it means that despite having health insurance, i have mounting medical bills and that sometimes they will be turned over to a collection agency because i’m just not paying them fast enough. it means that i tire easily and that i’m always tired. it means loss of strength and it means that i’m sad, it also means that i've learned to be stronger than i ever imagined i could be and that i smile more, especially when i don’t feel like it. it means that i look different and that i look at things differently, it means that i have scars, some that you can see and some that are hidden somewhere behind my eyes. it means that i might spend my entire ride into work with tears streaming down a face that i sometimes wish that i could hide. it means that unless you stop by my house unannounced on a hot day, that you will never see me without a long sleeved shirt covering the bones that were once considered my arms. it means that my struggles are many but so are my blessings. and yes, i can name them one by one.
