A member of the Fantastic Four?

I was discussing scleroderma with someone over the weekend and they described what it must be like as being The Thing from the Fantastic Four. I think she was a bit accurate.

I then saw this newspaper article titled Disease is `like turning to stone' about a young lady with scleroderma and thought I'd post it here.

A so-so weekend for me. Didn't feel too bad, didn't feel great. I really wish the fibrosis in my lower legs would go away. I'm definitely walking slower because of it. I had it in my right forearm on Saturday and a bunch of people were creeped out by it when they could feel it, but it was almost non-existent in my arm yesterday.
