The story of Talisa
I had to convince myself that my life still had purpose. I’m used to being independent and working and now I’m disabled and coping. People take for granted simple hand gestures like making a fist and putting lotion on. I struggle daily. My hands are not what they used to be and it saddens me to know that scleroderma can tighten my organs. I struggle with the fact that I have an autoimmune/connective tissue disorder. I also have to take a chemo medication for the rest of my life… the flip side is that I am blessed, I am loved and I know my life has purpose. Living with Reynauds and scleroderma is challenging but I’m not giving up…
