Rare diseases, Galetti (Gils): “Early diagnosis is life for scleroderma patients”

“Living with scleroderma means living with a complex, rare disease that has a strong impact on the clinical aspect, with problems ranging from joint pain to heart and lung problems. It means living a different life than other people, sometimes many people: however, you must not be discouraged, there is always a way to be able to do things. Early diagnosis of the disease is essential: sometimes 5-6 years pass before receiving the diagnosis, after which attention is paid to implement the appropriate therapies. So early diagnosis is life “.
