Tommaso DM: Lineare
Mia madre mi mise sotte le cure di un centro specialistico di Padova.

Blue Rose for Tommaso DM by Sherrill Knaggs, ISN Artist Mi chiamo Tommaso e scrivo da Palermo. Ho quasi 13 anni. Sedici mesi fa mi è stata diagnosticata la sclerodermia.

Una mattina mia madre si è accorta che alzandomi dal letto non appoggiavo il piede e facevo fatica a camminare. Inoltre, era evidente un dimagramento del piede e della mano destra e dell'avambraccio oltre alla comparsa di macchie scure.

Per questi motivi, mia madre mi mise sotte le cure di un centro specialistico di Padova. Grazie a loro, sto seguendo una terapia con Metrotexate e Ledeforlin. Inoltre, mi aiuto facendo dello sport, altrimenti sia il piede che la mano si atrofizzerebbero. Con la terapia mi trovo sempre bene e con lo sport anche meglio. Ogni tre mesi faccio controlli con il dott. Zulian di Padova.
