I have been suffering from scleroderma since 1990.

Currently, I take nifedipine, cortisone, aspirin, and calcium. For ten months of the year, I have infusions of Iloprost (prostacyclin) for three days per month, which I have to say has helped me a lot.

One needs to be steadfast and never lower one's guard. I thank all those people who help me to do my routine things every day.
