I was recently diagnosed with scleroderma. It is a tragic thing that is not well known. It affects so many people so many different ways. I am coping with this by remembering one thing--God gives us many trials in life, and each one we face makes us stronger for the next one. His plan was laid out for us long before we came here, and if this is his plan for me, I must accept it, be supportive to those others that have it,and live my life to the fullest. I have two young sons, and my fear is great for them-if this does take me quicker than I want to go! But again, it is faith that things will be alright, they always have a way of working themselves out. I can't feel sorry for myself, I have too much to do and look forward to..I say this all now, ask me again in another year! I do wish you well, and say a prayer for you in my heart--KP
