Need to Know: We need your questions

Beginning in 2007, a new, regular feature will be included in the Foundation’s quarterly magazine, the “Scleroderma Voice.” Each issue will include a question and answer section, in which members’ and patients’ questions relating to scleroderma will be asked, and answered by scleroderma experts.

In order for the feature to be successful, we need your questions. They may be sent to Jeff Shmase at jshmase@scleroderma.org.

Because of space restrictions, not every question will be forwarded on to the experts. Also, if questions are of a similar nature, only one from the category will be used. Some suggested topics to consider: pregnancy and scleroderma, ulcers and healing, cosmetic surgery for scleroderma, gastrointestinal issues, pulmonary hypertension, kidney and heart related concerns, pain management, and complimentary therapies.

We hope you find this feature a useful tool in helping you manage scleroderma. We look forward to receiving your questions.
