Elizabeth G: Diffuse Scleroderma

I have a low income, and I was fired from my job since I cannot work as I used to.

I was diagnosed with this illness eighteen months ago, and up to now my problems have only gotten worse. I am getting ulcers on my fingers and toes, and sometimes my hands turn either clear black or whitish.

I have a low income, and I was fired from my job since I cannot work as I used to.

I am searching for more information on this illness and I would like to know whether it is permanent or if I can find something that cures me.

Thank you very much.
