Scleroderma, anyone out there had a family member die from it?


My Mom passed away in 2003 after 13 years with it.

I didn't have a family member die from it, but a very good friend. It is a horrible disease that my friend had for about the same time your mom did - 13 years. She died last summer from complications of the scleroderma along with having to fight breast cancer. Sorry that you lost your mom.
