Hi, my friend is 32 years old and he didn’t feel well in last few months. He was feeling pain in his arms and some skin changes appeared. When hi finally visited he discovered that he is suffering from systemic sclerosis. It was big shock for me and I would like to know something more about this disease.

Hi, my relative is also suffering from systemic sclerosis. It is very severe disease which has two forms. One is affecting face, limbs and knees while the other affects skin diffusely. This second form very often affects lungs and kidneys. Unfortunately for this second form prognosis is very poor. Therapy is symptomatic.
