A Message From Kathy... If you are looking for emotional reassurance, look no further! You will find it here with the JSDN! Our network is set in a positive environment. We are keeping our literature updated to ensure that families are provided with the best coverage on JSD. Most of all we know what every parent is going through having a child diagnosed with JSD. I have a son, BJ, who was diagnosed with JSD in August 1996. Living with JSD can be exhausting mentally and physically for both of us with trips to the pediatric rheumatologist, blood tests, PT/OT. Sometimes it is stressful just getting your child to take their medication. It is a helpless feeling not knowing what to do for your child. We are here to help you as much as we can for each and every one of you. We may not be close by, but we are a phone call or email away when you need us. Please feel free to call or email us at anytime to let us know what we can do for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Translate these pages

Localized scleroderma
  • Morphea
  • Generalized morphea
  • Linear scleroderma
Systemic scleroderma
  • Limited
  • Diffuse
  • Scleroderma sine sclerosis
Localized Scleroderma
The skin is usually the only organ involved in localized scleroderma. Because it does not affect other vital organs, this disease type is less serious than systemic scleroderma. It can, however, be disfiguring and sometimes painful. Localized scleroderma is classified into three main subtypes: Morphea Generalized morphea Linear - Considered a pediatric disease, linear scleroderma usually occurs in the first decade of life. A band or bands of skin become thick and tight on the trunk or extremities. In some cases it may extend deep into the tissue and down to the bone, causing an associated loss of deep tissue or bone structure and interfering with normal growth. When linear scleroderma occurs on the face, it is referred to as en coup de sabre
Systemic Scleroderma
Systemic scleroderma is a multi-system disease with multiple manifestations, two reasons the disease is so difficult to identify, treat, and cure. Characterized by vascular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis, systemic scleroderma can affect the skin, blood vessels, muscles, joints, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, lungs, and the heart.

Edgar Cayce's Scleroderma Treatment: Case Studies
CASE STUDY #1: MARGIE
Summary
A 13 year old girl suffering from scleroderma with morphea (lesions on the skin) achieved reduction of symptoms within one month of starting a therapy recommended by Edgar Cayce and continued gradual improvement during a three year follow-up period.
Background
Margie was a 13 year old girl who first came to the A.R.E. Clinic in October, 1980, with a diagnosis of scleroderma with morphea. Previous treatment by a dermatologist and family physician failed to provide results. Margie's parents were alarmed by the poor prognosis given for this progressively debilitating illnessan 80% chance of death within ten yearsand were anxious to find help for their daughter.
Medical History
In May, 1979, Margie's mother noticed a tiny spot on the skin overlying her upper breastbone. As it looked like ringworm, they applied some anti-fungal ointment and promptly forgot about it. In August, it was still present and had enlarged. Their family physician discovered a similar lesion on her back and agreed that it was fungal in origin. She did not respond to the medication he prescribed. Her hands became very sore, swollen, cracked, and bleeding.
In September, he referred her to a dermatologist who biopsied the lesion on her back and diagnosed morphea. He told them "it wasn't leprosy and it wasn't cancer, but it wasn't something you'd want for Christmas either." He gave her a dry skin cream for her hands and recommended vitamin E to slow down the morphea. Margie began to feel sick, fatigued, and complained of headaches and backaches often. Both hands and feet became affected.
