This blog was created for me to discuss my life with Scleroderma. It has been a long journey for me to get to this point. As of January 28, 2011 I am officially a Scleroderma patient. Scleroderma has no cure and varies from patient to patient. This blog contains my medical treatments but should not be used as a guide for others.

Why so sick?
Hello everyone. This just a quick update to explain my complications. A lot of people have had questions so I figured I would add a post. I had Food poisoning this past week and most people get over it in a few days. With Scleroderma the GI tract can be compromised. The bacteria from the food poisoning made a little home in my intestines and caused bacterial overgrowth. On top of that, my acid reflux got worse and I was laying flat on my back for several days. The acid fried my esophagus, inflammed my sinuses and I aspirated a little into my lungs. This is why I am so sick. But I got the Cipro and my temperature has gone down. I hope I get to eat some yummy food soon.
