Avril: Morphea
United Kingdom

For Avril, by Sherrill Knaggs, ISN Artist I have been diagnosed with a rare form of morphea. The consultants in Nottingham, United Kingdom, have all shaken their heads in shock and said that they cannot provide treatment to me.

Is there any one out there who can help please?

Thank you. Please email me.
