Welcome to My Personal Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma Page!
I was diagnosed with systemic scleroderma (overlap polymyositis) in Sept 2021 after being sick for a year. I went to Rheumatologists, Neurologists, Orthopedics, and many many other doctors trying to get a diagnosis. Most doctors just threw their hands up or made me feel like I was crazy. ( More then one offered me antidepressants. ) Thankfully I now have a great team of Dr.'s and am doing well. I am extremely thankful for my team of Doctor's, good insurance and my friends and family that have helped me get to this point. I am one of the lucky ones but this disease can be debilitating and often fatal. There needs to be more awareness and research done on scleroderma and many other autoimmune diseases. Please do what you can to help either with a donation or spreading and awareness about scleroderma.
