Eli: Sclerodermia and Raynaud's Syndrome

Italy

It began in 1995, when I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome, but it wasn't given any importance, and I could not be cured.

With each passing year I added symptoms in several parts of my body, with multiple calcifications, so much so that I had to have three surgeries in a very short time. Nobody had ever understood what I went through nor helped me so I always took a turn for the worse.

Now I have perhaps found a good rheumatologist in Milano who could help me recover since finally, after thirteen years of suffering, he has given me a diagnosis and a cure, before it is too late…I hope.
