Lesley: CREST Scleroderma

I am always very tired these days.

Purple Water Lily by Sherrill Knaggs, ISN Artist I had a car accident. Four weeks later my mother died very suddenly.

I started choking on food. I was told it was globus. My hands went white in the cold.

It was only when the severe chest pains caused me to collapse several years later that CREST Scleroderma was discovered.

I am always very tired these days.
