Scleroderma Awareness
(Kathy)

June is Scleroderma Awareness month. As in most cases it is designed to help bring awareness of the disease.

Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease. It is generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible signs of Scleroderma. Scleroderma has be called 'progressive systemic sclerosis but has been found that it is not necessarily progressive. The disease may take on several forms. There is also much variability among patients.

This video will tell you what the symptoms are, give you interviews with people who have Scleroderma, and tell you what the Scleroderma Foundation is about.
