Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The word “scleroderma” comes from two Greek words: “sclero” meaning hard, and “derma” meaning skin. Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible manifestations of this very, even today, unknown disease. The exact cause or causes of scleroderma are still unknown, but scientists and medical investigators in a wide variety of fields are working hard to make those determinations. What is known is that scleroderma involves overproduction of collagen. Our chapter’s mission is to educate and support our local patients who suffer from this devasting disease. We hold support groups, medical symposiums, a 2K walk, and fundraising events throughout the year to further our cause. |
