What's a simple, cheap treatment for my scleroderma?

Don't Be Foolish: Scleroderma is a serious condition. There is nothing cheap about it. And more importantly your good health is most important. Ask your rheumatologist if they have "generic" meds that are less expensive. But don't go cheap when it comes to such a serious disease.

None: While altering your diet may help if you have certain manifestations of the disease, the key is to have an accurate diagnosis and know which organs are involved. There is no cheap & easy when it comes to scleroderma as the disease is not curable but the symptoms are treatable.
