Yesterday I found out that one of my clients/friends has been
diagnosed with scleroderma. Her name is Dana and I am her
hairdresser. But we have become very close over the past few years.
She hasn't even talked to me herself about it yet. She just found
out less than 2 weeks ago. One of her family members (also a client)
informed me. Dana is an O.R. Nurse. And I am sure that she is
making sure she is completely unshielded from all the possible
effects of this condition. I KNOW she would demand to be informed of
EVERY detail. She is a tough cookie. I want to know, please, how
can I help her level of comfort or state of mind, or what can I do to
see her through this? I want to be a help to her, not insult her
pride or independence. I am so scared for her. Tell me how to be a
positive force for her during this. I have been researching
Raynaud's and Systemic scleroderma like crazy, so I am very aware of
the expectations of what her body will go through. What can I do to
make it even a tiny bit easier for her? Please email me:

God bless you all
