Synopsis

A systemic sclerosis diagnosis can leave you facing frightening possibilities, unfamiliar medical language, and one overwhelming question: Now what? In So You’ve Been Diagnosed with Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)—Now What?, Lisa Willice Goggins offers a compassionate, medically responsible guide to understanding the disease and taking an active role in your care.

Discover what systemic sclerosis can mean for your circulation, skin, lungs, heart, kidneys, digestion, mobility, oral health, energy, emotional well-being, relationships, and daily life. Learn how screening and treatment decisions are made, how to prepare for appointments, which symptoms require urgent attention, and how rehabilitation, nutrition, movement, stress management, and other supportive lifestyle practices can complement—but never replace—evidence-based medical treatment.

With practical trackers, planning tools, a plain-language glossary, and guidance for family members and caregivers, this book replaces confusion with clarity and isolation with informed support. Whether you are newly diagnosed, helping someone you love, or adjusting to a new stage of illness, you will find realistic encouragement and useful strategies for protecting your health, communicating with your care team, and continuing to build a meaningful life. Begin your next chapter with knowledge, preparation, and hope—and take the next responsible step toward a life that remains unmistakably your own.
