My journey with Scleroderma; A Life with Uncertainty

Claudia was prescribed medication in attempt to reduce the symptoms and control the disease, but 'nothing worked' and was told she had to 'live with it'. 'My skin started to become very hard and thick and it physically changed my hands - my fingers now curve in like claws,' Claudia said. But she didn't give up hope. A colleague recommended a specialist at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney who claimed he could 'reverse the condition by 50 per cent' through a stem cell transplant.
