Hello Amanda, I am so sorry you have been diagnosed with limited scleraderma. I have had it for now 23 years. I would advise you to find a good rheumatologist, a woman would be better. I have had no luck with men drs. All the symptoms you describe are a part of my life. I have learned to trust myself and know how to handle things with my doctors. I have hand picked all my doctors and finally have a team of drs rom same hospital I can trust and know they trust my instincts and my own disease. If there is anything you need to know or ask please do. I would love to give back to someone since I was helped alot. I am Also a nurse so I have alot of knowledge about disease processes
